PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Steelers President Art Rooney said the process would take weeks, but they would get right at finding the next Steelers head coach. ESPN reporting Wednesday afternoon the Steelers have requested to interview Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase.
He’s in his first season in that role with the Rams after serving as an offensive assistant last year.
The 35-year-old spent the previous six seasons with current Penn State head coach Matt Campbell at Iowa State, his final as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He was previously a run-game coordinator and coached wide receivers and running backs. The Cyclones offense improved six points per game during his year as coordinator. He also worked with Iowa State quarterback and current 49ers QB Brock Purdy. Scheelhaase started at the Univeristy of Illinois where he was the Illini’s all-time leader in total offense with 10,634 yards.
Adam Schefter reports the Ravens, Browns and Raiders are also interested in Scheelhaase.
