Steelers announce that running backs coach James Saxon will not return in 2019

In something of a surprise move, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced that they would not be renewing the contract of running backs James Saxon on Monday, making him the second coach to effectively be fired since the season ended.

Mike Tomlin released a short statement via the team’s official website officially confirming the decision.

“I have made the decision to not renew the contract for running backs coach James Saxon. We would like to thank James for his efforts over the past five years, and we wish him the best in his future coaching endeavors.
