Another candidate with Pittsburgh ties emerges as Steelers OC candidate

Another candidate with Pittsburgh ties emerges as Steelers OC candidate

The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to interview Minnesota Vikings passing game coordinator and tight ends coach Brian Angelichio for their open offensive coordinator position.

Angelichio has worked alongside Kevin O’Connell in Minnesota over the last four seasons, holding the same title for all of those years. He has earned other interview opportunities for open offensive coordinator gigs, such as the Miami Dolphins.

Angelichio worked with the Packers and under Mike McCarthy in 2016 to 2018. He started his coaching career in 1995 by coaching the secondary at SUNY-Brockport, and he worked his way up to the college ladder.

One of those stops was in Pittsburgh, becoming an offensive assistant and tight ends coach at Pitt from 2006 to 2010.

In 2012, Angelichio made the jump to the NFL, taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ tight ends coaching job. Since that time, Angelichio worked for the Browns, Commanders, and Panthers.

Angelichio has worked under O’Connell multiple times, hence why he joined him, and that background would bring a different flavor than McCarthy’s background.

Pittsburgh has most of their coaching staff filled, but tight ends coach, offensive coordinator, special teams coordinator, and defensive line coach remain the open spots that McCarthy still has to fill on his staff.

Egor Chinakhov and Anthony Mantha scored on rushes in a 31-second span in Pittsburgh’s four-goal second period, helping the Penguins beat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-2 on Thursday night for their fifth straight victory.

Connor Dewar scored twice, Ben Kindel and Ryan Shea added goals, and Arturs Silovs made 17 saves. Mantha, Shea and Noel Acciari each had two assists.

The Penguins had been off since sweeping a four-game trip with a victory over Vancouver on Sunday, with forward Bryan Rust starting a three-game suspension for a check to Canucks forward Brock Boeser’s head.

Connor Murphy and Connor Bedard scored for Chicago, and Soderblom stopped 38 shots in the first game of a back-to-back. The Blackhawks have lost four straight, falling 4-3 in a shootout in Minnesota on Tuesday night.

Kindel gave Pittsburgh a 2-1 lead at 5:54 of the second period. He came down the left side and beat Soderblom to the far side with a wrister.

Chinakhov slipped a shots between Arvid Soderblom’s leg pads with 4:30 left in the period, and Mantha also beat Soderblom through the legs with 3:59 to go. Shea capped the spree with 30 seconds left in the period, and Dewar added his second of the night with 6:01 left in the third.

Bedard fired a wrist shot past Silovs with 5:21 to go for his 21st of the season.

Murphy opened the scoring for Chicago at 9:32 of the first. Dewar tied it 1:52 later.

Penguins forward Rutger McGroarty was recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League for his NHL game since sustaining a concussion in practice Jan. 6. He had five shots, three hits and a block in 10:36.

Blackhawks: Host Columbus on Friday night.

Penguins: Host the New York Rangers on Saturday.
