Jack Bricknell, Jr., New O-Line Coach
Steelers are wasting no time making changes in some key coaching positions. Earlier this week, the Steelers announced the hiring of Jack Bricknell, Jr., as the Offensive Line Coach.
Bricknell, 49, comes to the Steelers from Kansas City. Prior to his stint with the Chiefs, he served as assistant line coach with the NY Giants. Bricknell was part of the Giant's coaching staff that led the Giants to victory in Super Bowl XLVI. Being part of the Steeler tradition is "really a dream come true," said Bricknell last week.
