Steelers promote Randy Fichtner to offensive coordinator

The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially promoted Randy Fichtner to offensive coordinator, the team announced Thursday.

Fichtner will also remain the team's quarterbacks coach.

"We have a tremendous roster, and it will be my charge to continue putting our offensive players in position to succeed and score points," Fichtner said in a statement. "We have the nucleus to be successful, and I am thrilled about the chance to lead the offense as we have already started preparing for the 2018 season."

Fichtner joined the Steelers as their wide receivers coach, working in that capacity from 2007-09 before becoming quarterbacks coach.

The Steelers didn't retain offensive coordinator Todd Haley after his contract expired.
