Steelers hire Carnell Lake as defensive backs coach

C. Lake

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said a few weeks back he had no timetable to hire his defensive backs coach to fill out his coaching staff; he just wanted to find he “right man.”

The right man turned out to be four-time Steelers Pro Bowler Carnell Lake.

The team announced the hire of Lake on Monday, so Tomlin’s staff should now be complete. Chuck Cecil was reported to be a candidate in Pittsburgh, but Tomlin said previously Cecil didn’t interview.
