Coming off a tough 2023 season, at least from an offensive standpoint, the Pittsburgh Steelers needed to change things up on that side of the football in a major way.
After firing former offensive coordinator Matt Canada ahead of a Week 12 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals last season, the Steelers found some level ground with running backs coach Eddie Faulkner and then-quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan holding down a co-coordinator role for the Steelers.
But that wasn’t going to be good enough for the 2024 season.
Hiring the former Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator and Atlanta Falcons head coach was called the best move of the Steelers’ offseason by The Athletic’s Mike Sando Thursday morning.
