The Pittsburgh Steelers wasted little time in naming Shaun Sarrett their new offensive line coach after Mike Munchak chose to accept a lateral position with the Denver Broncos in order to be closer to his daughter and granddaughter, who live in the Denver area.
That was pretty much the plan, albeit an informal one, and perhaps something more of a plan B. While Munchak was obviously very highly coveted within the organization, and the team acknowledged that they tried to extend his contract last offseason before it ran out, they knew that they had somebody in Sarrett who was going to be capable of manning that position.
