Such a drastic measure as making a coaching staff move at this juncture in the season isn’t going to yield many changes for the Pittsburgh Steelers — or any other team — for that matter. That’s partially why firing Matt Canada when it’s almost December came as such a surprise.
Is it the system or the quarterback? Hard to say if we’ll find that out this season. It was a combination of the two, especially given Kenny Pickett‘s abysmal performance this season. The OC only calls the plays, he doesn’t make them. Replacing Canada with two internal guys with only seven games remaining, expect the same move only different roles.
“You can’t have wholesale changes at this point in the season,” he told Steelers media. “We’re going to run the system that we’ve been using, and coach Sully, coach Faulk are going to put their wrinkle on it. What they want to run and when they want to run it.”
Will that wrinkle be enough for the Pittsburgh Steelers not to be the laughingstock of the NFL? We’re about to see.
