The USFL Pittsburgh Maulers have a new head coach. And they’re swapping out a former Steelers coach for a different one. Ray Horton will take over the job, replacing Kirby Wilson, who lasted just one season with the team.

“Ray’s experience and expertise will help our players and assistant coaches succeed at the professional level, and I know he will bring an exciting brand of football to Pittsburgh Maulers fans,” USFL VP Darryl Johnston said in a statement via the Tribune-Review’s Chris Adamski.

Horton served as the Steelers’ defensive backs coach from 2004 to 2010.
