The Pittsburgh Steelers have made their first addition to their coaching staff this offseason. NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reported the Steelers hired Gerald Alexander as their defensive backs coach.
Alexander is returning to the Steelers after coaching with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2024.
Steelers are hiring Gerald Alexander as their new DB coach, per source.
Alexander is a smart, rising coach who spent last season as Raiders safeties coach. Now takes over Pitt secondary.
Alexander served as an assistant defensive backs coach with the Steelers from 2022-23. He left last offseason for an opportunity with the Raiders, who parted with head coach Antonio Pierce at the end of the 2024 regular season.
Not long after Wolfe’s report, Alexander addressed his return to Pittsburgh on his own X (formerly Twitter) account.
“RUN DAT BACK TURBO,” wrote Alexander.
