When reports came out that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers coach Frisman Jackson would not return for the 2024 season, the rumor mill immediately kicked into overdrive. The hot name? Former Steelers WR Hines Ward. He’s a franchise legend, he interned with the Steelers and helped out with the wide receiver room, was a wide receivers coach for Florida Atlantic University in 2021 and was even the head coach of the San Antonio Brahmas of the XFL.
So it’s easy to connect the dots, correct? Who wouldn’t want Ward back in Pittsburgh helping instill the same passion and hard-working attitude he brought as a player?
