The Pittsburgh Steelers chose not to renew the contract of running backs coach James Saxon last week and it didn’t take him long to find a new job.
According to Aditi Kinkhabwala of the NFL Network on Monday, Saxon has been hired by the Arizona Cardinals to be their new running backs coach. That job previously belonged to Stump Mitchell, who was added to the Cleveland Browns coaching staff a few days ago.
Saxon was hired by new Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury and he’ll now coach a running back group that’s bolstered by David Johnson and Chase Edmonds.
