The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t searched for a head coach in almost 20 years, and the late Dan Rooney led that search alongside his son Art Rooney II. Now a similar dynamic could play out with Art Rooney II leading the search alongside his son Dan Rooney Jr., who many expect to be the next guy to lead the team in the ownership family. But could they bring in outside help to consult in the hiring process? Ben Roethlisberger let the world know that he’s open to that idea if asked.
Roethlisberger was asked, half jokingly, if he would be a head coach candidate for the Steelers on his Footbahlin podcast.
