I can only imagine how emotionally difficult it must be for everyone in the Steelers organization right now, especially coach Tomlin. I’m sure all he wants to do is mourn, but he still has to make some sort of decision on what to do.

I have no idea if they’re in a position to promote someone from within or if they have to look outside the organization. I’d hate to be having to think in those terms at a time like this.

I’d assume they have to assigne his duties to someone who knows the offense. At least for the time being.

I believe that Fitchner has already been the WR coach of the steelers, but no way the steelers will give this responsibility to Fitchner.....He is already our QB coach too

This news is terrible and heartbreaking, it will be very hard for the players and coach to focus on football in the coming days.

They also have a day off tomorrow (it was supposed to be Tuesday, but they changed that to Monday after this news)
