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.
