The NFL cycle moves quickly, both for players and coaches. That’s no different for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
On Jan. 13, Mike Tomlin stepped down after 19 seasons as head coach. On Jan. 27, the Steelers introduced Mike McCarthy as the 17th head coach in franchise history and just the fourth since 1969.
With Tomlin’s resignation and McCarthy’s hiring, a lot of change is coming to the Steelers’ coaching staff. Already, former special teams coordinator Danny Smith has left for Tampa Bay, defensive line coach Karl Dunbar was reportedly not retained, and outside linebackers coach Denzel Martin interviewed with the Dallas Cowboys.
