Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach, Adrian Klemm is leaving the organization immediately to hold the same position as well as become run game coordinator and assistant head coach with the Oregon Ducks. The offensive line for Mike Tomlin's team has drastically underperformed this season and Klemm will leave after just 15 games. This will lead to assistant offensive line coach, Chris Morgan, being promoted and running the big guys up front. Morgan will inherit a rushing (lack of) attack that is averaging just 87.6 yards per game on the ground.
Morgan's best year involved with a team's offensive line came in 2014 as the assistant offensive line coach for the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks not only went to the Super Bowl, but averaged an NFL-high 172.6 rushing yards per game. Steelers fans would settle for simply more 100 right now.

Morgan went on to lead an Atlanta Falcons offensive line in 2015 that was 5th in the NFL averaging just over 120 yards a game. The offense was, however, in the bottom half of the league with 37 sacks allowed. The Falcons went on to lose in the Super Bowl to the New England Patriots that season.
Morgan also has spent time with the formally known as Washington Redskins (2011-2013) and Oakland Raiders (2009-'10) as an assistant offensive line coach.
Can Morgan make a big enough impact in just two regular season games (and possibly playoffs) in order to secure the same position heading into the 2022 season? Let us know in the comments below!
