Steelers OC candidates: New potential names emerge after coaching shake-up

It would be such a Steelers thing to do to retain Eddie Faulkner and Mike Sullivan, but…

Despite going 3-3 in the final stretch and sneaking into the playoffs (with help), keeping interim offensive coordinator Eddie Faulkner and play-caller Mike Sullivan at the helm would be a very Pittsburgh Steelers thing to do.

Though most fans would like to see a fresh perspective from an experienced coordinator with wins under his belt, Kenny Pickett as the starter might be a tough sell to some. Pickett is already familiar with Faulkner and Sullivan and vice versa, so keeping them around would be the easy way out.

If the Steelers should win in Buffalo today, the offensive coordinator question will be answered.

But on the off-chance Mike Tomlin brings in one new guy to do both jobs, here are some candidates Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Brian Batko recently floated after the coaching shake-up of Black Monday.
