The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially announced three additions to their coaching staff, naming Jason Simmons as defensive pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach, Scott McCurley as inside linebackers coach, and Steve Scarnecchia as chief of staff, per @AdamSchefter.

Simmons joins the organization to help manage the defensive secondary and coordinate the team's pass defense strategies.
