The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely mark a major transitional phase within their offense in the near future whenever they part ways with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, whether that is of his own accord or otherwise. This season, however, also marks a more minor transition in the promotion of Matt Canada to offensive coordinator, arguably their most radical move on offense in some time.
While Canada served as quarterbacks coach last year, all of his experience prior to that came in the college ranks, where he earned a certain reputation for his offensive mind through a number of stops along the way—enough that he earned consultation jobs from NFL teams.
