Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II said he had nothing to do with the hiring of Todd Haley as offensive coordinator. Rooney added he was a bit surprised that head coach Mike Tomlin hired Haley. "I think the bottom line is, Mike was comfortable that's who he wanted to come in," Rooney said. "It may be fair to say that when he started the discussions and Todd's name was on his original list, I don't think he expected that Todd was the guy he was going to wind up hiring. But as he had more conversations with him, he became more comfortable that he was the right guy for the job."

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians might not be back in 2012. He is in the final year of his contract, and it is unclear if he is retiring or not having his contract renewed. Arians was told by head coach Mike Tomlin last week that he would return in 2012, and Tomlin reiterated that at the press conference after the playoff loss to the Denver Broncos. However, team president Art Rooney II indicated Tuesday, Jan. 17, that some members of the coaching staff are considering retirement.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said QB Ben Roethlisberger (ankle) did not have a setback from his ankle injury during the team's Week 17 game. Roethlisberger said Wednesday, Jan. 4, he had a setback. "Certainly, I would characterize it as no worse," Tomlin said. "I have yet to see him, of course, today. We will see how he is moving forward. I mentioned (the injured ankle) because of protocol, to be quite honest with you. You have to acknowledge existing injuries, moving forward, it is NFL protocol. I am not overly concerned about his physical state and preparation for this game."

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has named QB Dennis Dixon the starting quarterback for Week 1, reports Bob Pompeani, of KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh.

Fantasy Tip: Don't view Dixon as anything more than a No. 3 fantasy football quarterback during the first month of the season. He is simply keeping the starting job warm until Ben Roethlisberger returns from his four-game suspension. Look for the Steelers to reel in their offense a bit with the youngster starting, as they will rely more on RB Rashard Mendenhall and their running game during the first quarter of the season.

Scott Brown, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, reports Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said offensive coordinator Bruce Arians was not in danger of losing his job following the 2009 season. There had been speculation that Tomlin would fire Arians, who has been a lightning rod for fan criticism as the Steelers have become a more pass-oriented attack and struggled in short-yardage running situations. When asked specifically about a rumor that QB Ben Roethlisberger talked him out of firing Arians in early January, Tomlin said, "All false. It's really a joke. I don't know where it came from. I think it was generated by people outside of our building. I didn't have an opinion regarding it then and I really don't now."

Tomlin said he talks to Roethlisberger "about football, about personal life; that's the nature of our relationship." Tomlin, however, would not comment further on the quarterback. "We've been pretty clear from (Steelers president) Art Rooney on down how we are approaching this," Tomlin added. "At this point, as the investigation runs its course, we'll have comments at the appropriate time."

Tomlin added, "My concerns are many, but I think at this time it's kind of appropriate to watch these things and let these things run their course. I think it would be inappropriate for me to have strong feelings one way or another with the investigation being ongoing and so forth. Like everyone else, you watch these things unfold."

But, when the ball is kicked off, these are two teams that play extremely hard and play disciplined football. I expect it to be just that. I don't give much credence to the talk, really," Tomlin said.
