Angelichio previously held the role of tight ends coach for multiple teams within the NFL, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2012-2013), Cleveland Browns (2014-2015), Green Bay Packers (2016-2018), Washington Commanders (2019), Carolina Panthers (2020-2021), and most recently the Vikings.

The Steelers were running out of offensive coordinator options after New Orleans Saints quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien seemingly took himself off the market, but Angelichio presents Pittsburgh with a respectable replacement as the new Black and Gold coaching staff takes shape.
