So far, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ coaching staff has seen nothing but subtraction. Three losses and zero adds one full month removed from the end of the team’s season.
Their latest loss came Wednesday when longtime coach John Mitchell retired. His on-field role had minimized in recent years, replaced by Karl Dunbar as the team’s official defensive line coach, but you could still see him on the field in training camp, most often running the “get-off” drills for the defensive line.
Brian Flores is the team’s most significant loss of the offseason. Predictable as it might’ve been, he never intended to make Pittsburgh a home, he took the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive coordinator position shortly after the Senior Bowl.
