Dallas Cowboys tight ends coach Lunda Wells is expected to interview for the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator vacancy this week, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Wells has spent the last five seasons in Dallas working under head coach Mike McCarthy. His candidacy for the Steelers position comes as Pittsburgh continues its search for a new offensive play-caller to lead the unit. Wells has been a key part of the Cowboys offensive staff, helping oversee the development of the team's tight ends during a period of high offensive productivity.
This is the second coordinator interview for Wells during the current hiring cycle. He previously interviewed for the Washington Commanders' offensive coordinator opening earlier this month. In addition to his NFL coaching duties, Wells recently served as the head coach for the West team in the East-West Shrine Bowl, further raising his profile as a rising candidate in the coaching ranks.
The Steelers are looking to fill the vacancy left by the mid-season dismissal of Matt Canada. Wells brings significant experience from the Dallas system as he enters the mix for the coordinator role in Pittsburgh.
