The Pittsburgh Steelers decided to maintain their tradition of continuity and named Omar Khan as their new general manager this offseason. Prior to Khan, Kevin Colbert held the position for nearly 22 years. After spending the past six years as vice president of football business administration, Khan steps into arguably the most pivotal role in the organization.
Speaking at his introductory press conference, Khan touched on many points, including football operations and the search and interview process itself. A couple of things that stood out are Khan’s upbringing and his introduction to the Steelers’ culture. Originally from New Orleans and growing up a hardcore New Orleans Saints fan, his father showed him the “Steeler way” at a young age.
