Is Matt Canada the kind of coach who learns from his mistakes?

There’s plenty of consternation about Matt Canada’s return as offensive coordinator for the 2022 Pittsburgh Steelers. Local writers like Dejan Kovacevic can’t stop talking about it, and I’ve seen plenty of pessimism in the BTSC comments too.

This angst is not completely unfounded. Canada’s only year running an NFL offense was 2021, and the results were mixed. The Steelers made the playoffs and swept both Cleveland and Baltimore, but the offense itself was 21st in points, 23rd in yards, and looked not just ineffective much of the year, but boring. You could make the case (and some have) that the Steelers won in spite of Canada, rather than because of him.
