Hall of Famer Fred Biletnikoff retired Wednesday as the Oakland Raiders’ wide receivers coach after spending more than three decades as a player and coach for the franchise. Biletnikoff, who is second in team history with 589 career catches, spent the past 18 seasons on the Raiders’ coaching staff, the last 10 as receivers coach.
Garrett Giemont was hired Wednesday as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ strength and conditioning coach, replacing Chet Fuhrman. Fuhrman, the last member of former Steelers coach Bill Cowher’s first staff in 1992, was not retained by new coach Mike Tomlin. Giemont was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ strength and conditioning coordinator from 2003-05, when Tomlin was the Bucs’ secondary coach.
