HIS COMING BACK SOON: Steelers are calling back on Kevin Colbert: REPORT…..
Late yesterday, word leaked out that the Pittsburgh Steelers were done looking for a new general manager. Kevin Colbert’s successor would be Omar Khan. The man was living under their house for the whole period after months of interviews.
The Steelers officially announced the transfer today, which came as a surprise.
Owner and president of the Steelers, Art Rooney II, released a statement saying, “Omar has been an integral part of our football operations department during his 21 years with the team, and that experience will serve him well in his new position.”
Khan has been in Pittsburgh’s front office since 2001. After being the director of football administration, Khan was promoted to vice president of football and business administration in 2016.
Today begins a new chapter for which he’s been preparing decades.
“I am ready for this challenge and grateful to continue the success we have had on the field during my first 21 years,” Khan said per Mark Kaboly of The Athletic. “I look forward to completing our football operations staff and working tirelessly to build another championship football team for Steelers Nation.”
