Tom Arth is appointed QB coach by the Steelers.
Pittsburgh had an interview with Arth this week.
With the Steelers adding more coaches to their staff, coaching news from Pittsburgh continues trickling in.
Tom Arth will coach quarterbacks for the Steelers. Arth, who was interviewed by Pittsburgh yesterday, was the Los Angeles Chargers’ passing game specialist under Brandon Staley the previous season.
This happens right after Zach Azzanni, a former Jets assistant, was named by the Steelers as their new wide receivers coach. In the same capacity, Pittsburgh also welcomed back Mike Sullivan as the quarterbacks coach.
Earlier reports imitially indicated that Arth’s role would be as the Steelers’ pass game coordinator, but both Gerry Dulac and Mike DeFabo have come out and said those reports were inaccurate.
Fans wanted to see the Steelers look outside the organization this off-season when it came to building a new staff. Credit where it’s due- they’ve done exactly that. This marks the third hire outside of the organization so far this hiring cycle, the biggest, of course, being offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.
Arth was the head coach at John Carroll from 2013-16, as well as at Chattanooga from 2017-18 before taking the Akron job from 2019-21. He became the Chargers’ pass game specialist in 2022.
