The Steelers hired Brian Angelichio as offensive coordinator, reuniting with Mike McCarthy to give the offense an identity and boost Pat Freiermuth, whose role shrank despite a strong 2024 season. Angelichio's tight‑end background is expected to revitalize Freiermuth’s game, while Darnell Washington remains a key piece in an adapted TE plan.
The Steelers expanded their coaching staff with five hires on Wednesday: Brian Angelichio as offensive coordinator, Danny Crossman as special teams coordinator, Joe Whitt Jr. as assistant head coach/secondary, Domata Peko as defensive line coach, and Pat Reilly as defensive quality control coach. Earlier in the week they added James Campen (offensive line coach), Jahri Evans (assistant offensive line coach), Ramon Chinyoung (running backs coach), Adam Henry (receivers coach) and Tom Arth (quarterbacks coach), signaling a broad reshaping of Pittsburgh’s coaching staff.
Brian Angelichio is nearing a deal to become the Steelers' offensive coordinator, potentially making him the team's fourth OC in four seasons, with head coach Mike McCarthy reportedly saying he will call the plays. Angelichio has spent the last four years with Minnesota as passing game coordinator and tight ends coach under Kevin O’Connell, after previously coaching tight ends for the Packers (2016–18) under Mike McCarthy and stints with the Panthers, Buccaneers, Browns and Commanders. The Steelers also interviewed Cowboys TE coach Lunda Wells and Saints QB coach Scott Tolzien.
