Hank Fraley could be on his way to Pittsburgh. The Detroit Lions offensive line coach in 2020 is interviewing with the Steelers for the same position on Mike Tomlin’s staff.
Because the Lions staff is not tendered to the team beyond the end of the league year, Fraley is free to interview without permission.
He would be a loss to Detroit. Fraley was the one assistant coach truly worth retaining. The former NFL center did great work in making Frank Ragnow, Taylor Decker and Tyrell Crosby better players under his hands-on tutelage. He also helped guide third-round draft pick Jonah Jackson to the PFWA all-rookie team at guard.
Fraley took over for Jeff Davidson in 2020 after being his assistant in 2019.
The #Steelers are interviewing Hank Fraley for their offensive line coach job Thursday, per source. Fraley — a onetime Robert Morris standout who originally signed with Pittsburgh as an undrafted free agent in 2000 — held the same job with the #Lions last season.
