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.

“Mayor of Kingstown” has wrapped up filming its fifth and final season in Pittsburgh.
Since the Paramount+ show began filming in western Pennsylvania in 2022, the Pittsburgh Film Office says it has injected over $325 million into the local economy and created over 10,000 jobs. In total, the show has had 457 shoot days in the Pittsburgh area.
“We look forward to seeing your work on the screen and thank you for several years of dedication to the region,” the Pittsburgh Film Office wrote in a Facebook post.
Production of the show’s fifth and final eight-episode season began in March. According to Paramount+, the new season follows what happens when an FBI agent described as a “dedicated lawman” arrives in Kingstown and “threatens to disrupt the tenuous balance of power.”
Jeremy Renner, who stars as Mike McLusky, marked the end of the show in an Instagram post, saying he was “filled with gratitude.”
“I am so very thankful for all of your support over the years—it has given my stride and purpose in my recovery and love in my heart,” Renner wrote. “Thank you cast and crew for carrying me through when necessary.”
Renner broke dozens of bones and underwent multiple surgeries after he was involved in an accident involving a 7-ton snowplow on New Year’s Day in 2023. He has said that returning to the set of “Mayor of Kingstown” for Season 3 helped him cope.
The release date for Season 5 hasn’t been announced yet.
Forgotten frontier: How Pittsburgh shaped America’s July 4th
We take you inside Fort Pitt Museum’s “Pittsburgh’s Revolution” exhibit to show how a frontier fort became a key in America’s path to independence.
Pittsburgh’s Fourth of July traditions are rooted in centuries of American history, and Fort Pitt Museum sits at the heart of that story.
Located in Point State Park at the confluence of the city’s three rivers, the museum traces western Pennsylvania’s pivotal role in the French and Indian War, the American Revolution and the early expansion of the United States.
An exhibit you don’t want to miss
Inside, the “Pittsburgh’s Revolution” exhibit spotlights how this frontier outpost helped shape the Revolutionary War and the push for independence. Rare artifacts, detailed maps and personal stories walk visitors through a time when control of Fort Pitt meant control of the West, giving colonists a crucial foothold in the struggle against British rule. The exhibit also emphasizes the diverse communities at the Point, including soldiers, Indigenous nations, traders and settlers, whose lives intersected in ways that still echo in Pittsburgh’s identity today.
For modern visitors, the museum offers an immersive experience that connects familiar July 4 images with the realities of life on the 18th‑century frontier. Families can explore galleries that explain how supplies moved through Pittsburgh to support the Continental Army, how diplomacy unfolded with Native nations, and how everyday people navigated a world in conflict. It turns Independence Day from a single date on the calendar into an ongoing story that started along these rivers and radiated outward.
As America marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Fort Pitt’s “Fourth at the Fort” programming brings that history into the present with flag ceremonies, living history encampments and hands‑on activities in Point State Park.
For Pittsburghers looking to go beyond fireworks, a visit to Fort Pitt Museum offers a reminder that Independence Day here is not only about celebration, but about standing on the ground where American history was made.
