    firing Matt Canada from LSU is considered one of the greatest moves they ever did. The year after his firing , Burrow looked like a machine and they won the natty Maybe it was 2 years after firing him. But this is not a good hire. Suspect hire. Dude has been fired A LOT

    Excellent hire.

    I don’t know anything about him, but his last name is pretty great.

    Well maybe he's a better QB coach than OC?

    He left LSU in 2017 mutually parted ways.

    Burrow didn't arrive at LSU (transfered from OSU) until 2018 Canada was gone by then.

    my mistake. he does seem to have some up and down seasons elsewhere. Maybe he will be ok at just being the QB coach. Just hope he helps Randy and Ben is coachable

    Wow. Just can’t make some people happy. At Pitt they averaged 42 points one year under him, scored at least 28 points in every single game, and knocked off Clemson for the only loss in a FBS championship season.

    Matt Canada did a good job as Pitt's OC in '16 and '17 and then went to LSU as the same title, certainly a step up. He was a finalist at Pitt in 2017 for the Broyles Award - best assistant coach in college football. Remember he lead Pitt to that huge upset of #1 Clemson in 2017. He had lousy QB's at Pitt (not his fault) but his offenses were exciting and unpredictable. How it translates to a QB coach I have no idea but in may be a stepping stone to replace current OC in the near future.

    Finally! Hey maybe us fans can change things after all. It took enough of us uttering our disgust that they did something about it. We can dream can’t we? ...lol

    I like the hire. Grooming young QB's and grooming a guy to possible be an OC one day.

    I can see the thread topics already.

    “Canada Must Go!”
    “Canada ruins QBs”
    “We don’t need Canada in Pittsburgh”

    hahaha.

    Tongue-in-cheek aside two of the best players in Pittsburgh are Canadian.

    Take LeBeua for instance, great defensive cord but not cut out for head coach if I remember correctly. Or did he get pushed into being Bengals interim coach ?
    I say give Canada a try ?

    Conspiracy theory alert! Read at your own risk.

    Ben doesn't want or need a qb coach. Do they know something we don't?

    We have a qb coach named Canada...Canada is cold...Christmas is cold...Christmas has reindeer...most famous reindeer is Rudolph...we have a qb named Rudolph.

    Put it all together and...Canada in...Ben out...Rudolph is taking over.

    I'll take it; Great to hear that we are finally forcing Fitch to take something off his plate. Now if we can just take his plate away. :)

    He should start tomorrow working on Mason's footwork and quickness in the pocket. There are exercises for this that he really needs.
