The Steelers have hired one of their former players as a defensive assistant coach.
Joey Porter, who played for the Steelers from 1999-2006, has been added to Mike Tomlin’s staff.
“We are excited about having Joey back with the Steelers’ family,” Tomlin said in a statement. “Joey spent a number of years with Pittsburgh as a player, and now he’s back to assist the coaching staff. We look forward to his efforts and contributions.”

I absolutely love this move. We've lost a lot of leadership the past few years, and while Porter can't help on the field, he can provide leadership off of it and really help the young linebackers, especially Jones. _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart.

| Yeah!
I'm still waiting for the day when the headlines read: "Steelers hire Hines Ward as wide receiver coach". Until then, this move has my approval! _________________ ![Steelers hire Joey Porter as defensive assistant coach Ginger10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f35/16/35/84/16/ginger10.png) ![Steelers hire Joey Porter as defensive assistant coach We_bel10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f55/16/35/84/16/we_bel10.png) | |

| Just because he was a good player, doesn't mean he'll be a good coach (just sayin').
However, I'm hopeful that Porter can leverage some of his game day intensity towards coaching and get these guys fired up. _________________ ![Steelers hire Joey Porter as defensive assistant coach Scaled.php?server=695&filename=trucky](http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg695/scaled.php?server=695&filename=trucky.png&res=medium) 60 MIN 53 MEN 1 NATION STEELERS NATION I am the MAN that created the MYTH that started the LEGEND Don't choose good when greatness is available! | |
