What Do Steelers’ Fans Want in an Ideal Offensive Coordinator?

No one has been the target of more ‘fan vitriol’ in the last 36 hours than has Matt Canada, the struggling offensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers. It would be really easy for me to pull from any number of tweets that treat Canada as though he’s just stolen the candy from every toddler in Western Pennsylvania. So therefore, I asked folks on Twitter what they would like to see in an offensive coordinator.

There’s no such thing as a perfect offensive coordinator – we all know this – but fans aren’t ignorant. They understand what they see each week. Adaptability appears to be a major asset more people want to see. In the case of Canada, that means being more creative and using your best players.

Canada is similar to other recent Steelers’ OCs in that he tries to “fool” the defense by using guys that aren’t your best players. That’s fine once in awhile, a great while as a matter of fact, but to do that as often as Canada does is just wrong. He has to get the ball into Diontae Johnson’s hands more often. Same for George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth. And for the love of God use the middle of the field!

Thanks to all who participated.
