As the Steelers host the Titans on Thursday night, Pittsburgh’s coaching staff is making a significant change to its operations. Offensive coordinator Matt Canada will coach the game from the sidelines instead of from the booth as he’s done throughout his career, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports.
Canada has been at the center of criticism this season, as the Steelers are averaging 16.1 points per game, fourth-worst in the league. Fans have gotten so frustrated with the offense that they have called for the team to fire Canada midseason.
After spending the majority of his career as a college offensive coordinator or quarterbacks coach, Canada joined the Steelers in 2020 and became Pittsburgh’s offensive coordinator in 2021.
