The Facts: The Steelers are prepared to name Randy Fichtner as Todd Haley's replacement at offensive coordinator, pending final approval of his contract, a team source told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Diehards Line:The decision to name Fichtner, an original member of Tomlin’s coaching staff, will help maintain stability with one of the top offenses in the NFL. Fichtner and offensive line coach Mike Munchak, who has declined a second interview with the Arizona Cardinals to remain with the Steelers, were considered the top internal candidates to replace Haley. Neither have been coordinators in the NFL. Fichtner has a nice relationship with Ben Roethlisberger, who wanted him on the sidelines and not in the coaches’ box this season to serve as a buffer to Haley. Munchak turned down a second interview the Arizona Cardinals, where he was a “serious” candidate to replace Bruce Arians as head coach, because he wanted to remain with the Steelers for several reasons beyond a possible promotion to coordinator.
