Report: Steelers to Interview Kliff Kingsbury
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly have a second name in the running for their offensive coordinator position. According to NBC Sports' Peter King, the team is set to talk to former Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury.
King said during an appearance on 93.7 The Fan that the Steelers will join the Chicago Bears as the two teams to speak with Kingsbury about their offensive coordinator positions. Kingsbury is currently the Senior Offensive Analyst at USC, helping develop quarterback Caleb Williams into the potential first-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
"Right now, he’s talked to the Bears and he’s gonna talk to the Steelers -interesting places," King said. "The Bears are a running team. The Steelers are a running team… I’ll tell you this, if he gets one of these jobs, I guarantee you that that team will be a running team."
Kingsbury has helped the development of several top quarterbacks, including Williams, Kyler Murray, Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield. But King says the interesting part of the former head coach is that he's looking for a successful all-around offense.
"The interesting thing, I always tell people this about Kliff Kingsbury, you expect that you’re meeting with a guy who wants to throw the ball 55 times a game,” King said. "First meeting I ever had with him after he got the Cardinals job in training camp that year, he started talking about what a great running team we’re going to be, and we will be a great running team before we’re a great passing team."
The Steelers have reportedly requested an interview with Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks coach Zac Robinson. So far, those are the only two names they've been associated with.
