Steelers coach Mike Tomlin makes puzzling Kenny Pickett comment after Matt Canada firing

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin made some interesting remarks about Kenny Pickett’s immediate future after Matt Canada was fired.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have finally moved on from offensive coordinator Matt Canada after another dreadful performance, but Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin isn’t one to throw any members of his coaching staff, current or former, under the bus. Tomlin’s response to a question about Kenny Pickett’s future seems to nod at that, via Joe Rutter.

Mike Tomlin ready to move Steelers forward after Matt Canada’s firing

There are a few different ways that Tomlin’s comments could be interpreted, but regardless, it’s clear that he’s not getting into the business of long-term forecasting or getting too far out in front of things. Tomlin has been doing this for 17 years, and no matter how cliche it sounds, the “one week at a time” approach has served him well.

Diving deep into the details or reasoning for Matt Canada’s firing is not going to be something Tomlin entertains. He’s moving forward, and he undoubtedly wants his football team to do the same.
