Fichtner Says New Coaching Assistant To Help With Quarterbacks

While the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t officially have a quarterbacks coach right now following the offseason promotion of Randy Fichtner to offensive coordinator, perhaps the person who will ultimately assume that position is now already on the staff.

This past offseason the Steelers hired Matt Symmes as a coaching assistant and to hear Fichtner talk at the conclusion of the team’s first mandatory minicamp practice of 2018 on Tuesday, the former South Carolina graduate assistant will be helping out with the quarterbacks some.

“Matt Symmes is working with us now, and he’s doing a lot of the quality-control type things,” Fichtner said on Tuesday, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
