For the past two offseasons, I’ve taken a look at the size of each NFL coaching staff. To see where the Pittsburgh Steelers stack up, identify league trends, and figure out if any of these matters.
For years, Pittsburgh has been criticized for not employing many coaches. They’ve preferred to have a very traditional “one coach for one position group” model. In our previous studies, the Steelers had among the smallest coaching staffs in football but not the tiniest.
Until 2024.
In 2022 and 2023, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots had the smallest coaching staffs.
