Richard Mann Was The Right Hire At The Right Time

It’s been a short while now since Pittsburgh Steelers wide receivers coach Richard Mann announced his retirement—it has been long enough, in fact, that the team has already managed to replace him, bringing in former Arizona Cardinals wide receivers coach Darryl Drake for the same position—but I still wanted to comment on it, all the same.

Mann was brought in for the 2013 season in order to fill the shoes of Scottie Montgomery, who was the team’s wide receivers coach from 2010 through 2012, replacing Randy Fichtner, who moved from wide receivers coach to quarterbacks coach.
