Steelers officially hire Ike Hilliard as their wide receivers coach

After more than a week of various reports about the Steelers choice for their new wide receivers coach, the team has officially announced Ike Hilliard as their choice for the 2020 season.

Last Sunday it was reported the Steelers had hired Bryan McClendon from the University of South Carolina. On Monday, another report surfaced that former Steeler Jerricho Cotchery was also in the running for the position. By the end of the week, it was reported that the position had come down to the two candidates. On Saturday, South Carolina reported McClendon would be returning for the 2020 season.
