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.
