Saints quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien has been requested to interview for the offensive coordinator position with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he is keeping his focus on his duties at the Senior Bowl for now. Tolzien previously worked with new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy and has a strong relationship with current Saints head coach Kellen Moore, who has been supportive of the potential move.
Why it matters
Tolzien's potential departure would be a significant loss for the Saints, as he has played a key role in developing the team's young quarterbacks. However, the opportunity to become an NFL offensive coordinator is a major career advancement that Tolzien would be wise to explore. The Saints are also facing potential staff changes this offseason, so Tolzien's status is worth monitoring.
The details
Tolzien has been serving as the offensive coordinator for the American Team at the Senior Bowl this week, working closely with quarterbacks Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough. His work with young QBs is likely what led to the Steelers' interest in him as their new offensive coordinator. If Tolzien were to land the job, he would be reunited with longtime Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, whom he previously worked under in Green Bay.
- Tolzien has been the Saints' quarterbacks coach for the past year.
- The Steelers have put in a request to interview Tolzien for their offensive coordinator opening.
- Tolzien is currently focused on his duties at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.
