A bit of speculation has risen as to why the Pittsburgh Steelers would hire within the organization to replace Shaun Sarrett as the new offensive line coach -- and for good reason. Although the team managed to keep quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger upright for the majority of the season (only allowing 13 sacks in 2020), the Steelers finished 29th in rushing.
Since then, the team has planned to promote Adrian Klemm as the new offensive line coach. Klemm has spent the last two seasons as the assistant offensive line coach, so the question remains, will he be able to help turn things around for a struggling offensive line that he's seen first hand. Current and past players seem to think he can.
See for yourself:
Y’all don’t kno Klemm. We do. And that’s all that matters...

The assistant OL coach often works closely with the rookies thru out the week while the OL coach gets the starters ready for the game. Dotson’s performance this year w/o training camp should give you confidence in Coach Klemm’s potential. #SteelerNation

No lie...Klemm is the BEST option. Having been around him, he’s a guy who gets it and knows how to challenge everyone in the room with an ego removed. Solid solid hire. With the room transitioning soon, he’s the guy for the job. I co-sign this.
