Steelers: The Pittsburgh Steelers have interviewed former Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley for the team’s vacant offensive coordinator position. Haley, fired by the Chiefs in December, met with Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin on Tuesday. The Steelers need to replace Bruce Arians, who was not retained. Arians was hired to the same position by the Indianapolis Colts on Monday. Pittsburgh finished 12th in the NFL in yards in 2011 but just 21st in points scored. The 45-year-old Haley went 19-26 in two-plus seasons with the Chiefs, leading them to the 2010 AFC West title. Haley 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, a 27-23 loss to the Steelers.
Colts: Peyton Manning isn’t ready to discuss retirement yet. The four-time league MVP told a group of reporters Tuesday he doesn’t plan to stop playing and that his recovery from a third neck surgery continues to be on schedule. “My plan hasn’t changed,” Manning said at a hotel after media day at Lucas Oil Stadium featuring the Giants and Patriots. “I’m on track with what the doctors have told me to do, and I’m doing that. I’m rehabbing hard.” When asked about reports he may soon retire, he responded: “I have no plans on doing that.”
