Steelers Expecting Changes to Coaching Staff

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expecting coaching turnover in the offseason.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will head into the offseason looking for a new offensive coordinator, but head coach Mike Tomlin believes there will be more changes to the coaching staff before next season. 

Tomlin took the podium for the last time this season and addressed everything from his contract to the quarterback situation and how he, general manager Omar Khan and Team President Art Rooney II will go about coaching changes. And in the midst of discussing the team next season, he acknowledged there is likely going to be turnover within his staff. 

"From a coaching perspective, obviously, things will never stay the same," Tomlin said. "I’m appreciative of this collective and what they’ve been able to do all the while understanding there will be changes. I think those of us who are in this business understand that. We’ll thoughtfully and intentionally go about that."

Tomlin said the team will look outside of the organization for a new offensive coordinator this offseason, and also said he's open to adding to his offensive coaching staff as he makes changes. 

"Certainly," Tomlin said. "I’m looking at all components of staffing as part of the annual end-of-the-season review, and additions in terms of expertise are certainly a component of that."

What coaching changes will come is yet to be known, and Tomlin is too early in the process of reviewing the 2023 season and discussing the plan for this coming offseason to know. But as the team leaves the 2023 campaign, the expectation is that changes will be made before their return for OTAs in the spring. 

"I’m not gonna speculate about staffing at this juncture," Tomlin said. "I just acknowledge that things change this time of year, it’s just a component of our business at this level and I’m sensitive and respective to it."
