During his Tuesday press conference, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he didn’t inform his players before firing offensive coordinator Matt Canada. The news came as a shock this morning, and NFL insider Mike Garafolo said on The Insiders on NFL+ today that Steelers players found out the news via group chat before being informed by anyone inside the organization.
“There was a lot of frustration along the way, a lot of frustration with the players. My understanding is the players this morning had a group text, they found out before they were told by the coaching staff.
