PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are continuing their search for assistant coaches, bringing in three more names for open positions. According to league sources, the team is set to interview Matt Baker, Mateo Kambui and Phil Matusz for multiple positions.
Baker brings a connection with the Steelers’ new offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith, working as the Atlanta Falcons’ special teams assistant this past season. Prior to Atlanta, he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at John Carroll University after starting his coaching career as a grad assistant at Ole Miss in 2010 and then taking on his next gig nine years later as an analyst and QB coach for Western Michigan in 2019.
