Firing Matt Canada was justified. But it isn’t any less surprising. Pittsburgh has been playing professional football since 1933, meaning there aren’t many things it hasn’t done yet. They’ve been the worst team in the league. They’ve won Super Bowls. They’ve drafted the first overall pick without ever watching him. They’ve had their head coach forget to show up to games. They’ve been stuck on a tarmac for hours on end. There’s a story for just about everything.
But dismissing a coordinator in the middle of a season? A first. A literal first.
