Steelers entlassen Assistenztrainer Derius Swinton II wegen Fehlverhaltens am Arbeitsplatz

Die Pittsburgh Steelers haben sich von ihrem Special-Teams-Assistenztrainer Derius Swinton II getrennt. Der Schritt erfolgte am Freitagmorgen aufgrund eines Verstoßes gegen die Vereinsrichtlinien. Weitere Berichte präzisieren den Grund als Fehlverhalten am Arbeitsplatz.

Die Steelers trennten sich am 29. Mai von Swinton, nachdem er erst im Februar als Teil des Stabs von Cheftrainer Mike McCarthy eingestellt worden war. Er arbeitete unter Special-Teams-Koordinator Danny Crossman, der eine Woche zuvor verpflichtet wurde. Eine Quelle innerhalb des Teams teilte ESPN mit, dass die Entlassung auf Fehlverhalten am Arbeitsplatz zurückzuführen sei, obwohl der Verein keine genauen Angaben zum Verstoß machte. Swinton reagierte nicht auf Bitten um Stellungnahme.
