If Joey Porter Sr. was on the Steelers’ coaching staff with George Pickens already there, how would that have gone? Not terribly well, from the sounds of it. The Steelers reportedly traded Pickens, primarily due to issues with professionalism, which disqualified him from receiving a second contract.
Beyond the things we all saw during games, Pickens was also reportedly frequently late, which Coach Porter wouldn’t have tolerated. Appearing recently on the Not Just Football podcast, he spoke about his time on the staff. At one point, he seemed to allude to the George Pickens situation, without addressing it directly.
