Where's SteelersCanada when you need him?
Is he going to be the new OC?
Chances are if the offense soars that Canada will be hired away as a HC. He has the right profile.
Nah I give him 4 games. At his age Ben isn't going to want to learn a new system. Just throw it more often 5 or more yards down the field, mix in play action, and maybe a bootleg every once in a while. Not much to ask for.
I did nto think the Steelers with Tomlin having just one year left on contract, and Ben retiring soon could attract a quality OC.
The last time the Steelers won a playoff game it was 2016. That is six years ago. We are keeping the Jets and Lions company. The standard remains the standard.
Post-Gazette still not reporting the Canada hire...
Just sayin... we’re putting our trust in Rap
Odd how when you post shorter, typo filled responses with little content there are no odd font sizes, colors, bolding, or other formatting issues. BUT...when you post longer more detailed stuff there is all that.
Almost like it isn't how you type but how the message board formats the stuff you cut and paste from elsewhere....so strange. Might want to get your computer looked at. Could be a virus or something.
I would like to have more information than just the general stuff in this article but maybe this can further this conversation instead of it devolving into puns and outright attacks on personnel and coaches. Maybe.

This one contains a little more insight, although all college feats.

Mark Madden: Steelers promoting Matt Canada falls under ‘status quo,’ ‘definition of insanity’

So much bullshit in this article. Haters gonna hate but this is a bit much.

The Steelers had 4 turnovers and no run game and lost by 11. The Saints had 4 turnovers and a great run game and lost by 10. No OC will overcome that consistently in the NFL. ZERO. All Madden's cliches might ring with some truth in a broad stroke, but a look at the details and Canada was the best choice. He deserves a shot, not the ole retread treatment before he gets a chance.
has there been confirmation yet, by anybody other than a Rappaport tweet?? I see nothing on the Steelers.com or PG sites.
This article claims the Steelers announced the promotion.
https://fansided.com/2021/01/18/stee...anada-offense/
First sentence, 4th paragraph. "The Steelers announced they promoted quarterback’s coach Matt Canada to the role of OC for the 2021 season. "
Caldwell will be next to Ben in September.
This article may clear some things up. By this I mean, "the expectation is Canada will be the new OC, but the Steelers MUST interview other candidates before they can officially make that hire".

Canada is a candidate.
