Steelers' Offensive Coordinator Matt Canada Fired, Eddie Faulkner Steps In

In a major shake-up, the Pittsburgh Steelers part ways with offensive coordinator Matt Canada, promoting Eddie Faulkner and Mike Sullivan in his stead.

  • Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator Matt Canada has been abruptly fired, with running backs coach Eddie Faulkner promoted to interim offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan calling the plays.
  • Steelers' quarterback Kenny Pickett, who was mentored by Canada for the past 18 months, expressed disappointment at the decision but acknowledged the need for the team to improve.
  • The Steelers' offense, currently ranking 28th in points and yards, will not see a massive overhaul in scheme, terminology or playing time despite the change in leadership.
  • Despite the change, Pickett and the team are focused on improving their consistency and performance, with Pickett aiming to improve on his six touchdown passes in 10 games.
  • The firing of Canada is the first in-season head coach or coordinator move by the Steelers in more than 80 years.
