Several former players of the Pittsburgh Steelers hold coaching jobs, both at the college and NFL level. Just this past February former CB William Gay was hired as an assistant with the Washington Commander, for example. There could be another joining the ranks as a coach with Chris Karpman of 247 sports reporting that Hines Ward is being considered for Arizona State’s WR coaching position.
This wouldn’t be the first coaching position he has held, however. Most recently he was the head coach of the San Antonio Brahmas in 2023. Prior to that he was with Florida Atlantic as the WRs coach in 2021.
