SO SAD: Pittsburgh Steelers just lost a super star player today and…
Pittsburgh Three additional names have been brought in for open assistant coach positions by the Pittsburgh Steelers as they continue their search. The team is scheduled to interview Matt Baker, Mateo Kambui, and Phil Matusz for numerous jobs, according to league sources.
Baker formerly worked as the special teams assistant for the Atlanta Falcons this past season, and he has a relationship with Arthur Smith, the new offensive coordinator of the Steelers. After beginning his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Ole Miss in 2010 and accepting his next position as an analyst and quarterback coach for Western Michigan nine years later in 2019, he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at John Carroll University prior to joining Atlanta.
The North Carolina alum also played in the NFL from 2006 to 2009 as a quarterback, spending his final two seasons on the Buffalo Bills.
Kambui also comes from Atlanta, working as their assistant offensive line coach in 2023. Prior to his time with Smith and the Falcons, he was with the Denver Broncos as part of the Marlin Briscoe Coaching Fellowship (2021-2022). He helped with scouting and coaching the wide receivers.
Matusz is the head strength and conditioning coach at Boston College. The Steelers parted ways with both of their strength and conditioning coaches and have been talking with a few candidates for the openings.
He’s been with Boston College for four years. Prior to helping the Eagles develop top NFL Draft talent such as Zion Johnson and Zay Flowers, he spent six seasons as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Ohio State.
