On Surface, James Saxon Move Seems To Make Little Sense

The Pittsburgh Steelers sure are doing a good job of keeping themselves in the news cycle—whether they like it or not, in spite of the fact that their final game of the season had already been play over a week ago.

The odd news of the day was the announcement that Head Coach Mike Tomlin had made the decision that he would not seek to renew the contract of running backs coach James Saxon, who was originally hired in 2014 to replace Kirby Wilson at the same position.

While the Steelers did not suddenly become a running team with Saxon in the building, they did become more efficient.
