In an extremely rare move for the franchise, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada amidst the team’s offensive struggles. The decision comes after the Steelers’ offense ranked near the bottom of the league in various statistical categories. The firing represents the first time since 1941 that the Steelers made an in-season coaching change at the coordinator level or higher. Tomlin dismissed Canada when he felt he ran out of options due to the lack of progress in the offense. The team’s struggles have been evident in the recent games, with the offense failing to produce dynamic plays and consistent improvements. The Steelers have found it hard to compete with the top teams in the league. The move is seen as a desperate attempt to elevate the Steelers’ playoff prospects as they enter a manageable stretch of their schedule.
