Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II confirmed the report that they are moving on from wide receivers coach Frisman Jackson when addressing a question about the possibility of Hines Ward taking over the job.
During a one-on-one interview with Bob Pompeani for KDKA on CBS Pittsburgh, he largely deflected in answering the speculation about Ward. And more importantly, as he did when discussing the hire of Arthur Smith as offensive coordinator, he deferred.
“It’s too early for me to say who will fill that role”, he said. “Mike [Tomlin] and Arthur are looking at the options there and I’m sure they’ll do a good job filling the position.
