Only in Pittsburgh would there be a debate raging on about who made the call to fire offensive coordinator Matt Canada.
Shortly after the news broke Tuesday morning that the Steelers relieved Canada of his duties as offensive coordinator, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers insider Gerry Dulac reported that team president Art Rooney II made the call to fire the maligned offensive coordinator, giving the Steelers a fresh start.
Then, Tuesday afternoon head coach Mike Tomlin stated emphatically that the decision was his and his alone to fire the third-year offensive coordinator.
It appears now that Tomlin’s statement is accurate, thanks to reporting from The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.
