Steelers Value Jerald Hawkins’ Familiarity With Pro Offense

The Pittsburgh Steelers have largely had stability within their coaching staff—particularly on the defensive side of the ball—during head coach Mike Tomlin’s tenure in town, especially when you compare it to the way business has been carried out in other football cities around the NFL landscape.

The Steelers keep their coaching staff fairly slim and tight—although they just recently split the duties between inside linebackers and outside linebackers between two coaches, when it formerly was just one job.

One particular position that has seen a lot of turnover under Tomlin, however, has been the position of offensive line coach, a volatile position that he inherited after longtime coach Russ Grimm bailed to join former Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, who landed the head coaching job in Arizona after he was passed over for Pittsburgh’s vacancy.
