Steelers fire offensive coordinator Matt Canada amid fourth season with team

With the Steelers' offense unable to find a spark, Pittsburgh finally pulled the plug on the Matt Canada experience.

The Steelers officially fired Canada on Tuesday after just over two and a half seasons as offensive coordinator.

"Matt Canada has been relieved of his duties as offensive coordinator," head coach Mike Tomlin said in a statement on Tuesday. "I appreciate Matt's hard work and dedication, and I wish him the best moving forward in his career."

Steelers QB coach Mike Sullivan and RB coach Eddie Faulkner will share the coordinator duties in the wake of Canada's firing, NFL Network Insiders Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero reported. Faulkner is expected to take over as interim OC, and Sullivan, who has previous coordinator experience with the New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will handle the play-calling.
