With Pittsburg Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter placed on leave following his arrest on Sunday for assaulting a doorman outside a Pittsburgh bar, one former NFL star has expressed interest in filling the vacated outside linebackers coach spot.
Hall of Fame former Steelers linebacker Kevin Greene took to Twitter Monday to say he’s prepared to help the team.
Green has some coaching experience, luckily. He had a brief stint as a Steelers intern linebackers coach during training camp in 2008. Greene was also a member of Green Bay’s coaching staff when the Packers won Super Bowl XLV in Feb. 2011.
