New Orleans Saints quarterback coach Scott Tolzien interviewed for the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator position but ultimately decided to stay in New Orleans. Retaining Tolzien is an underrated win for Kellen Moore’s coaching staff and Tyler Shough’s development.
Tolzien's history with Mike McCarthy as a player and coach was likely a strong incentive for Tolzien to join the Steelers. That doesn’t even get to the bump in position. It’s likely not the last time he’ll have to face this type of decision. If he remains a hot commodity, Tolzien's time with the Saints may be short lived.
McCarthy clearly likes the staff Moore has built in New Orleans.
