Two days after his completion percentage record was broken by Drew Brees, Ken Anderson has retired from his job as quarterback coach of the Steelers.
Anderson, 60, is the first assistant coach Mike Tomlin has lost in three seasons. Ben Roethlisberger just had the best season of his remarkable career, so we have to assume this was Anderson’s choice.
There was talk a few weeks back that the Steelers staff could experience “a considerable makeover” but Anderson was the only change announced Tuesday.
Yes, Steelers fans, that means Bruce Arians remains. For now.
Anderson is one of the 25 semifinalists for the Hall of Fame this year. Defensive coordinator Dick Lebeau, who is expected to return to the Steelers, is one of the two nominees of the Hall’s Senior Committee.
