The news comes after a week of speculation, as Tolzien has been heavily linked as a favorite for Pittsburgh's offensive coordinator vacancy since reports surfaced of the Steelers' interview request.

Tolzien played a pivotal role in developing the Saints' first-round quarterback Tyler Shough, who found success toward the latter half of his rookie season in 2025.
