PITTSBURGH -- Matt Canada is returning as the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator, team spokesman Burt Lauten confirmed to ESPN.
Canada, 50, signed a one-year contract extension last year through the 2023 season and will be the offensive coordinator for a third season. He was previously the team's quarterbacks coach for the 2020 season.
Though speculation of Canada's status was rife outside the building, internally, a league source told ESPN, the expectation was that Canada would return and his job wasn't in jeopardy.
"I thought he got better," coach Mike Tomlin said in his end-of-year press conference last week.
