Back in 2022, the Pittsburgh Steelers brought in Brian Flores to be a senior defensive assistant and help coach the linebackers. We aren’t sure how much Flores was involved in the defense but it’s been clear since he left Pittsburgh for the Minnesota Vikings, he is an excellent mind and one the Steelers probably shouldn’t have let leave.

This offseason the Steelers might have a similar opportunity only on the offensive side of the football. Out of nowhere, the Houston Texans relieved offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. This is a guy who was named a hot head coaching candidate just a year ago and is the man credited with how quickly quarterback C.J. Stroud has come into his own.

The Steelers are in a position where they could be starting Justin Fields next season and having a highly-drafted rookie on the roster in 2025. Slowik as an offensive consultant could be the mastermind of fixing the Steelers quarterback position and finally bringing the Steelers offense into the modern age of the NFL.
