Report: Steelers hire former South Carolina coach Bryan McClendon as wide receiver coach

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a glaring vacancy on their coaching staff since the offseason began. After the passing of Darryl Drake during training camp at Saint Vincent College, the team coaxed Ray Sherman to stay on staff for the season to take over for the late coach.

Mike Tomlin was adamant the move was temporary, but after the season there was no news of any new hire, until now.

Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports reports the team has finally filled the role of wide receivers coach, and they have gone to the college game to do so by hiring former South Carolina coach Bryan McClendon.
