Three former Pittsburgh Steelers could land coordinator job
Three former Pittsburgh Steelers could be in line for a coordinator job this hiring cycle. Former wide receiver Antwaan Randle-El, center Hank Fraley, and wide receivers coach Scottie Montgomery look like legitimate candidates for the Lions job.
Randle-El was a longtime wide receiver, including for their Super Bowl XL victory, where he tossed a touchdown pass to Hines Ward on a reverse. He returned to the Steelers after leaving to head to Washington in 2010 and retired after they lost the Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.
Fraley was a Robert Morris alumni who was an undrafted free agent the team signed in 2000. He did not make the team, but made a long career out of it with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he remained until 2006. He has also interviewed for the Seattle Seahawks open offensive coordinator job.
Montgomery would be the first true branch on the Mike Tomlin tree. He was the team’s wide receiver coach from 2010 to 2012 before heading to the college ranks and working his way back into the NFL to where he is now.

- Hines Ward: The former wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers has been making a name for himself in the coaching world, currently serving as a wide receivers coach for the New York Jets. With his experience playing under legendary coach Mike Tomlin, Ward could be a strong candidate for a coordinator position.
- Joey Porter: The former linebacker for the Steelers has also been making waves in the coaching world, currently serving as the outside linebackers coach for the Arizona Cardinals. Porter’s fiery personality and strong defensive knowledge could make him a strong candidate for a defensive coordinator position.
- Ryan Shazier: The former linebacker for the Steelers, whose career was cut short due to a serious injury, has expressed interest in coaching since retiring from playing. Shazier’s football IQ and leadership skills could make him a strong candidate for a coordinator position, possibly on the defensive side of the ball.
