According to Pittsburgh Steelers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo, the Steelers are closing in on their next wide receivers coach. The coach they have tabbed for the job is current South Carolina offensive coordinator Bryan McClendon.
McClendon would be the man to replace Darryl Drake. Drake passed away suddenly just before the start of the 2019 season. McClendon spent the bulk of his coaching career at the University of Georgia before moving to the Gamecocks and coaching the wide receivers in addition to being the offensive coordinator.
Pittsburgh’s offense struggled when quarterback Ben Roethlisberger went down with an elbow injury in the second game of the season. The offense played with a heavy heart after the sudden passing of Drake. But hopefully, the unit as a whole can re-group this season.
