Citing Contract, Steelers’ History, Charlie Batch Believes Matt Canada Will Return In 2022

It’s safe to say former Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Charlie Batch isn’t a fan of Matt Canada.

Batch has been openly critical of Canada throughout the 2021 season as the Steelers’ offense was rather inept, but despite that inability to generate much offensively, Batch is resigned to the belief that Canada will return in 2022 as the Steelers’ offensive coordinator, citing his contract, the Steelers’ history with how they handle coordinators, and the fact that head coach Mike Tomlin already expressed optimism in the Steelers’ coordinator.

Appearing on the 93.7 Fan Morning Show Friday, Batch expressed frustration with the offense as a whole, while also adding that he doubts the offense can all of a sudden become a top-of-the-league unit under Canada now that Ben Roethlisberger has all but officially walked away from the game, allowing the Steelers to now find a QB that truly fits the former college coordinator’s scheme.
