‘Coach Is The Smartest Football Guy I’ve Ever Been Around’: Matt Canada A Believer In Mike Tomlin’s Plan

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada is routinely bombarded by questions, whether he is in front of the gathered media or not, but he only has to answer them when he is. And often, well, he kind of doesn’t. I mean, he says words, sometimes quite a lot of them, but they don’t always add up to an answer to the question asked.

Fortunately for him, or so he believes, he has the benefit of Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin’s wisdom to lean upon. Tomlin plucked him out from football purgatory after his tumultuous 2018 season as interim head coach with the Maryland Terrapins, giving him his first job in the NFL in 2020 following a year out of football, and promoted him to offensive coordinator in 2021.
