The Pittsburgh Steelers are interviewing New Orleans Saints quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien for their vacant offensive coordinator position on Monday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Tolzien, 38, is a former NFL quarterback who has quickly ascended the coaching ranks. He spent the most recent season leading the quarterbacks room in New Orleans. Prior to his tenure with the Saints, Tolzien spent several years on the coaching staff of the Dallas Cowboys, where he worked under head coach Mike McCarthy.
His connection to McCarthy dates back to his playing career, during which he served as a backup quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. Tolzien's recent experience includes a high-profile stint as the offensive coordinator for the American team during the Senior Bowl last week, a role that often serves as a showcase for emerging coaching talent in the league.
The Steelers are currently in the process of identifying a new leader for their offense following the conclusion of their 2024 campaign. The interview with Tolzien signifies the team's interest in a candidate with a specific background in quarterback development and experience within established offensive systems.
