PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers have named Todd Haley their new offensive co-ordinator.
Haley, 45, will replace Bruce Arians, now with the Indianapolis Colts, and will inherit an offence that scored 325 points last season en route to finishing 12-4.
Haley was fired by Kansas City on Dec. 13, after going 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 co-ordinator for Arizona in 2007-08, helping lead the Cardinals to their only Super Bowl appearance.
The Steelers lost the AFC North title to Baltimore on a tiebreaker, and were eliminated from the post-season by Denver.
