The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially announced three key additions to their coaching and administrative 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, according to a report from Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The appointment of Simmons brings a veteran presence to the secondary, where he will oversee the defensive backfield and coordinate the team's pass defense strategy. McCurley transitions into the role of inside linebackers coach, a critical position in the Steelers' traditional defensive scheme. Additionally, the hiring of Scarnecchia as chief of staff provides head coach Mike Tomlin with a key administrative lead to manage team operations and logistics.
These hires come as the Steelers look to solidify their defensive unit and organizational structure ahead of the upcoming season. The team has not yet released further details regarding the specific responsibilities or contract terms for the new staff members.
