The Pittsburgh Steelers have decided to part ways with offensive coordinator Matt Canada after two years of poor performance. Canada was hired in 2019 to help the Steelers offense reach new heights, but the team has struggled to find success in his two years at the helm.
The Steelers offense has been inconsistent and inefficient under Canada’s direction, ranking near the bottom of the league in points scored and yards gained. The team’s passing attack has been particularly ineffective, with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger throwing for fewer than 4,000 yards in both of Canada’s seasons as offensive coordinator.
The Steelers have also failed to find success in the running game, averaging just 3.9 yards per carry in 2020. This lack of production has been a major issue for the team, as they have been unable to establish a consistent ground attack to help open up the passing game.
The decision to move on from Canada comes after a disappointing 2020 season for the Steelers. The team finished 12-4 but failed to make it past the first round of the playoffs, losing to the Cleveland Browns in the Wild Card round.
The Steelers are now searching for a new offensive coordinator to help get the team back on track. It remains to be seen who they will hire, but it is clear that the team is looking for someone who can bring a fresh perspective and help the offense reach its full potential.
It is always difficult to part ways with a coach, but the Steelers have decided that it is time for a change. With a new offensive coordinator in place, the team will be hoping to get back to their winning ways and make a deep run in the playoffs in 2021.
