The Pittsburgh Steelers have hired Brian Angelichio to be the team’s next offensive coordinator under new head coach Mike McCarthy.
Brian Angelichio has spent the last four seasons as the passing game coordinator and tight ends coach for the Minnesota Vikings.
Angelichio, 53, served as tight ends coach for three years while McCarthy was the head coach of the Green Bay Packers and is no stranger to the Steel City having spent five seasons as Pitt’s tight ends coach in the late 2000s.
