PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The chips are starting to fall after the Pittsburgh Steelers were eliminated from the playoffs Sunday.

Offensive coordinator Todd Haley is the first person out now that his contract is over.

The Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin released a statement about Haley's departure saying:

"I have made the decision to not renew the contract for offensive coordinator Todd Haley," Tomlin said. "I would like to thank Todd for his contributions to our offense the past six years, and we wish him the best in his coaching future."

Offensive line coach Mike Munchak has decided to stay with the team.

Also, wide receiver coach Richard Mann is retiring after 33 years in the NFL. He worked for the Steelers for five years.

In a statement, Mann said:

"I really appreciate the Steelers organization, the entire Rooney family, and Coach (Mike) Tomlin for getting me out of retirement the first time to finish up here. I felt like maybe if I stuck it out one more year I would have an opportunity to get a Super Bowl ring here. That didn't happen, we came up a little bit short, but what a great run for me.

"I was able to finish my career right where I started. I started in Aliquippa and I was able to finish here with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I said I probably wouldn't coach past 70. I am 70 and I still have a lot left in my tank."
