According to Jonathan Jones, Saints QB coach Scott Tolzien will remain in New Orleans after interviewing for the Steelers’ offensive coordinator vacancy.
Tolzien played under new Steelers HC Mike McCarthy in Green Bay from 2013 to 2015. However, this indicates Pittsburgh is going in a different direction for its OC job.
Tolzien, 38, signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin back in 2011. The Chargers waived him coming out of the preseason and he was claimed by the 49ers.
From there, Tolzien played for the Packers and Colts before deciding to retire following the 2018 season.
Tolzien spent a year at Wisconsin as a coaching analyst before joining the Cowboys’ staff as an assistant coach in 2020. He was promoted to the team’s quarterbacks coach in 2023 where he served for two seasons when the team opted against renewing his contract following the promotion of OC Brian Schottenheimer to HC.
The Saints hired Tolzien as their QB coach ahead of the 2025 season on HC Kellen Moore’s staff.
For his career, Tolzien appeared in 10 games and completed 60.3 percent of his passes for 1,065 yards, two touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He also rushed for one touchdown.
