Your Depot After Dark for Jan. 8.

FORMER STEELERS COACH RETIRES

The Steelers have only had three head coaches since 1969. However, they’ve had plenty of other coaches on their staff in that time. That includes Tom Moore. He was with the Steelers from 1977 to 1989, working as their wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator during that time. He has had a long, illustrious NFL career, but now, it’s come to an end.

Tampa Bay Times reporter Rich Stroud relayed on Twitter that Moore is retiring. He had been an offensive consultant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 2019. However, Moore is calling it a career. He accomplished a lot, including winning four Super Bowls. Hopefully, he enjoys the next stage of his life.

Bucs senior offensive consultant Tom Moore has decided to retire after 62 years of coaching and more than 46 seasons in the NFL. He’s 87.

YAHYA BLACK NEW LOOK

Several of the Steelers’ rookies have been impactful this year. That includes Yahya Black. The Steelers dealt with several defensive line injuries throughout the season. However, Black stepped up. He played in every game, including three starts. While he wasn’t always perfect, Black flashed potential. He has made one change for the playoffs, though.

Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette shared a picture on Twitter showing that Black dyed his hair a more golden color. Batko also stated that Black jokingly blamed it on his “midlife crisis.” He’s only 23 years old, so it’s more like a quarterlife crisis. Hopefully, it brings good luck for the postseason.

TEXANS PRACTICE SQUAD MOVES

The Steelers will face the Houston Texans in the first round of the playoffs. It will be a tough matchup. The Texans, winners of nine consecutive games, have the best defense in the league. They’ve also made a few moves leading up to their game against the Steelers.

The Texans announced on Twitter that they’ve signed safety K’Von Wallace to their practice squad, while also placing safety Kaevon Merriweather on the practice squad injured reserve. Wallace has been in the league since 2020, bouncing between a few different teams. He was with the Minnesota Vikings earlier this year when they played the Steelers. Perhaps he’ll have some knowledge to give the Texans.
