Jesse James Credits TE Coach James Daniel For His Development
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost a couple of excellent, long-tenured coaches this offseason. Richard Mann, in an expected decision, finally walked away from football for good. And John Mitchell is now in a reserve, off-field role as the Steelers’ assistant head coach. The Steelers did replace both with experienced coaches, Darryl Drake and Karl Dunbar respectively, Still, those losses sting.
The longest tenured Steelers coach now? Keith Butler. But right behind him is tight ends coach James Daniel, who has been with the team since 2004. Daniel is a name rarely mentioned but he was the man who helped mold Heath Miller. Now, he’s doing the same with the likes of Jesse James.
