Randy Fichtner Ben Roethlisberger

Ben Roethlisberger is a football quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers, 11th overall in the 2004 NFL Draft.

Ben has over the years had a close relationship with coach Randy which has raised concerns. There is a concern that Randy listens too much too Ben and if he really does, it could be to the detriment of other areas of the offense.

According to The Times, Todd Haley is no longer the Steelers’ offensive coordinator anymore because Ben Roethlisberger wanted it that way. Ben’s relationship with Todd Haley had become progressively more strained over the years and even though it was the Steelers’ defense not the offense that cost them dearly in a playoff loss to Jacksonville, Todd Haley took the fall.

This according to The Times, was to get Randy installed as Todd Haley’s replacement, thinking that Randy who was much friendlier with Ben, would work in better harmony and produce better results but that hasn’t happened yet.
