SCB Steelers Quick Hitters: The “No Friend Zone”Edition

Good Tuesday to you Steelers Fans.

Days after the Steelers announced that Joey Porter would not return as Outside Linebackers Coach the team has also announced that Running Backs Coach James Saxon will not be back either. From a coaching standpoint the Porter decision was easy to understand. I can’t say the same for Saxon. Personally I felt that he did a very solid job with the backs. I would cite the success of both James Conner and Jaylen Samuels as proof. However, this move could be directed more at Mike Tomlin. Porter and Saxon were both known to be “close” to Tomlin and removing them could be more about setting a new, more professional tone.
