    Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin continued to make changes in his coaching staff today, firing special teams coordinator Bob Ligashesky, the Post-Gazette has learned. Ligashesky, a McKees Rocks native, becomes the second assistant in as many days to be dismissed, joining offensive line coach Larry Zierlein. The special teams were a major source of concern after the Steelers allowed four kickoff returns for touchdowns in a five-game span.

    No crap. He got kicked out by Scott Linehan when he was in STL. Our Special Teams sucked then, and it seems he kept the tradition going in Pittsburgh.

    Good move.
