Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver coach Ike Hilliard is back on an NFL coaching staff, as the Atlanta Falcons have hired him as their wide receivers coach, NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo reports.
Hilliard interviewed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their wide receiver coach position earlier this week after serving as Pittsburgh’s wide receivers coach from 2020-21. He was a rare one-and-done coach with the Steelers, being replaced by Frisman Jackson, who remains as Pittsburgh’s wide receivers coach. Hilliard then served as the receivers coach at Auburn in 2022, and also got a promotion to interim co-offensive coordinator when the team let go head coach Bryan Harsin.
