 Steelers hire Bob Ligashesky as special teams coach
Here's a story about new Steelers assistant Bob Ligashesky, first reported on in the Cardinals forum. Quote: New Steelers assistant had uneven run at Pitt
Miami Herald, FL - 6 hours ago
PITTSBURGH - Only three or four steps are needed to walk from the front door of Pitt's football practice complex to that of the next-door neighbor Pittsburgh Steelers.
Despite the very short length, it probably wasn't a journey Bob Ligashesky anticipated making a few years ago.
Ligashesky, who had an uneven run as Pitt's tight ends coach and special teams coordinator from 2000-03, returned this week to that same practice complex after being hired as the Steelers' special teams coach. He replaced Kevin Spencer, who took the same job with the Arizona Cardinals.
The 44-year-old Ligashesky is vocal, animated and expressive on the practice field, a man who often seems as wrapped up in the action as his very players. That apparently impressed new Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, a hands-on motivator himself, even though Ligashesky was recently fired by the St. Louis Rams after two seasons.
