The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t hired an offensive coordinator. They haven’t hired an offensive line coach.
Good, I say.
Patience is a virtue. Pittsburgh’s smart to show some of it this time around.
Because the last time those positions opened up, they were filled immediately. Based on the results they got with Randy Fichtner and Shaun Sarrett, that was arguably the wrong process.
Fichtner was hired the same day the team announced they were parting ways with Todd Haley. Ditto with Sarrett replacing Mike Munchak when he left for Denver. In fact, as Sarrett told the story, Mike Tomlin offered the job in the same moment Munchak said he was headed west.
