PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Steelers’ playoff flameout cost offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner and two assistants their jobs.
The team announced Thursday it would not renew the contracts of Fichtner, offensive line coach Shaun Sarrett, and secondary coach Tom Bradley following a 48-37 loss to Cleveland on Sunday night. The club also said tight ends coach James Daniels is retiring after 17 seasons in that position.
Head coach Mike Tomlin hinted at major changes on Wednesday after Pittsburgh dropped five of its final six games following an 11-0 start and didn’t waste time getting started.

It was 1994. As an 11 year old growing up in Wheeling, WV, you couldn’t help but be infatuated with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I was a big fan of Barry Foster, Yancey Thigpen and of course, that defense.
Rod Woodson, Carnell Lake and Levon Kirkland were great, but there was this pass rushing duo given the name Quiver and Quake. Greg Lloyd and Kevin Greene. These two were larger than life.

As a young kid, we would be in the backyard and as we stood at the line of scrimmage doing the customary “10 Mississippi” count, and when you got to 10 you were going after the quarterback like a crazed dog. If you got home? You better believe you stood up and celebrated just like Kevin Greene when he would sack opposing quarterbacks. It was that awesome fist pump.
