Aditi Kinkhabwala was the first to strongly insinuate the news. He also reports that the team will hire Andy Weidl as GM assistant for the Steelers.
Khan was hired by the Steelers in 2001 and during that time has been the “cover” of the team, holding the official title of Vice President of Business Administration and Football. He was one of six finalists for GM’s work, beating internal candidate Brandon Hunt and several external candidates, including Weidl, who will become his right-hand man.
Khan will replace Colbert, who was hired in 2000 and won two Super Bowls during his career with the team. It is the team’s first major overhaul in more than a decade.
Developing history.
