The Facts: The Pittsburgh Steelers are making at least one significant change on offense in 2021. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Thursday that the Steelers are parting ways with offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner, per a source informed of the situation. Fichtner's contract was set to expire at the start of the new league year, and the club will not renew a deal for its offensive coordinator.

Diehards Line: Fichtner joined the Steelers in 2007, HC Mike Tomlin's first year with the club. The Steelers later confirmed the news, adding offensive line coach Shaun Sarrett and defensive backs coach Tom Bradley will also not have their contracts renewed. Fichtner started as the Steelers wide receivers coach, a title he held for three seasons. He then moved on to QBs coach, working directly with Ben Roethlisberger. He held the quarterbacks coach gig for eight seasons before becoming the OC in 2018 when he took over for Todd Haley. Under Fichtner's guidance, the Steelers' offense got off to a hot start, with Roethlisberger throwing for 5,129 yards in his first season as OC. It's been a sharp downhill since. Fichtner was just the third OC during Tomlin's tenure, following Bruce Arians and Todd Haley. Now the Super Bowl-winning coach will take another shot at jumpstarting an offense that needs a fresh voice.
