Former Redskins coach Ike Hilliard joins Steelers

A former Redskins coach now has a new job.

Former members of the Washington Redskins continue to find new homes.

This time it’s former Redskins wideouts coach Ike Hilliard, who will now assume the same position with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Hilliard played a prominent role for the Redskins over the years, serving in that position from 2014 to 2019, as well as a stint in 2012. Perhaps most notably, he played a role in getting Terry McLaurin, then helping to orchestrate his big breakout season.

Now with the Steelers, the team there probably hopes the veteran coach can help get the absolute most out of JuJu Smith-Schuster and others as the unit still recovers from the Antonio Brown-sized gap in production.

Hilliard wasn’t in the plans for the Redskins under new head coach Ron Rivera.
