Ryan Switzer, a former wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has won a promotion to Tulsa. Even after the team hired former East Tennessee State Tre Lamb, Switzer will continue to serve as the wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator, a promotion from his previous position as the wide receivers coach alone. Switzer was appointed interim head coach at Tulsa following the dismissal of head coach Kevin Wilson.
Before Lamb was hired, Switzer was in his second season as the Golden Hurricanes’ wide receivers coach.
Due to injuries, Switzer retired from the NFL in 2022 and joined the Tulsa staff. On a gameday, the 30-year-old, who had always aspired to become a coach after playing, gets a taste of the best coaching in the world.
A four-season standout and two-time All-American, Switzer was a legend at the University of North Carolina.
Switzer played for the Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys, and Steelers during his playing career. The Steelers traded for him, and he played there for two seasons. He was cut by the Steelers in 2020.
