The Pittsburgh Steelers will hire former Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley to be their offensive coordinator, according to an ESPN report.
Haley will replace Bruce Arians, who is now with the Indianapolis Colts. The 45-year-old Haley, fired by Kansas City on Dec. 13, went 19-26 in two-plus seasons with the Chiefs, leading them to the 2010 AFC West title.

He spent 10 seasons as an assistant before being hired by Kansas City. He was offensive coordinator for Arizona in 2007-08, helping lead the Cardinals to their only Super Bowl appearance.
The Steelers went 12-4 this season but lost the AFC North title to Baltimore on a tiebreaker.
The Chiefs were 5-8 when Haley was dismissed. His last game was a 37-10 loss to the New York Jets at the Meadowlands, and it was their fifth loss in six games. Kansas City committed 11 penalties for 128 yards in the performance, including a 15-yarder on Haley for unsportsmanlike conduct. The next day, he was fired.
Around the league
Raiders • Oakland didn’t look far to find a defensive coordinator, hiring Stanford’s Jason Tarver to take over the same position for the NFL team across San Francisco Bay. The Raiders announced Monday that Tarver will join new coach Dennis Allen’s staff.
Chiefs • Kansas City hired Brian Daboll as its new offensive coordinator. Daboll spent last season in the same job for the Miami Dolphins, and the previous two years serving as Cleveland’s offensive coordinator.
