PITTSBURGH -- The promotion to interim offensive coordinator is a bittersweet one for Pittsburgh Steelers running backs coach Eddie Faulkner.
Faulkner, who has been on staff in Pittsburgh since 2019, is close friends with fired OC Matt Canada.
"I couldn't say enough good about Matt Canada," said Faulkner, who first worked with him at Northern Illinois in 2011. "It's a little bit bittersweet in that way because when you sit back and you see all that goes on, and all that's being said about him and the offense, we all -- and I'm speaking for the offense when I say this to staff -- we all felt that we're all part of that.
