Steelers Don’t Land Munchak; Hire Meyer for OL Coach

[Steeler Nation]

The Pittsburgh Steelers were very hush hush on their offensive line coach interviews. Not a single one of them came out to the public.

Today they announced they’ve hired one. Pat Meyer will join the Steelers coaching staff in a lateral move from the Carolina Panthers.


Prior to joining the Panthers as offensive line coach, he spent three seasons (2017-19) coaching the offensive line for the Los Angeles Chargers, with them rushing for 1,873 yards in 2018, the team’s highest rushing total since the 2013 season. In 2017 Philip Rivers was sacked only 17 times. Tied for the fewest in franchise history.

Meyers is a native of near by Youngstown, Ohio. He is also the second member of the Panthers staff to join the Steelers this off-season. Receivers coach Frisman Jacksonstrong>/a> also was part of the Panthers staff last season.

Anyone know much about him? Where did the Carolina OL rank? I confess, don’t know who he is.

 

[thesteelcity]

well, he has experience. . .

We did the unthinkable and hired a guy who had a worse OLine than ours. Thanks Tomlin.
We finished ranked 26th in OLine play and the Panthers finished 31st.

They weren't going to land Munchak anyway. He left to be with family and is apparently sticking to that. This looks to be a decent hire but only time will tell.

No crap? That sucks!

well crap. . .

 

[stuntmanmike]

Cheapest guy available classic steeler hiring lol

 

[slashsteel]

Guy had multiple stops so not going to assume the worse based on just the last stop. I look at it is there is experience there. So perhaps he can at least know who to start and who to sit

But will he actually be the one to get to make that call?

 

[thesteelcity]

we are becoming the Carolina Panthers- North. Got their WR and OL coaches. Trying to be optimistic here, but feeling lukewarm about these singings. Welcome to the B&G, I think.

Well, my dad is from Youngstown...

I don't know about him but all we can do is hope for the best.

Who knows... I wouldn't bank on it.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Well, if nothing else, he has spent some time at Memphis and North Carolina State.

No he left to get away from Tomlin

Well, this Charlotte radio talk show host doesn't much care for Meyer...

Carolina talk host says new Steelers O-line coach simply isn't good

In the grand scheme of things berm, that is all we can do.

Reading that article one of the biggest gripes about him seems to be one of Tomlins biggest flaws or similar anyways. Apparently he will choose a crappy veteran over a young raw with upside player. Similar to how Tomlin will stick with the inferior player that is "his" guy over someone that could do better. Not very promising and showing some more insight into Tomlin's mindset.

What the hell would we see in this guy? I realize Munchack most likely will retire and probably doesn't want to move away from family but they could have brought in Doug Marone. Not liking what I've been reading on Meyer at all.

Carolina OL was possibly worse than ours

Easily bottom 5

 

[JP1977]

They were ranked 31st and we were ranked 28th.
