The Facts:
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport confirmed Thursday through a Pittsburgh Steelers source that the Cardinals requested permission to speak to Steelers OC Todd Haley about their head-coaching vacancy. Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic first reported the news. NFL.com's Albert Breer later reported the Steelers had granted the Cardinals permission for the interview.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Haley worked under deposed Cardinals HC Ken Whisenhunt when the team made the Super Bowl after the 2009 season. Haley enjoyed a good relationship with Cardinals ownership, who reportedly pushed for Whisenhunt to add Haley to the coaching staff after last season when Haley lost his head-coaching gig with the Kansas City Chiefs. Haley and Whisenhunt met about joining forces again, but it never happened. Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton has interviewed for the position, and Andy Reid was scheduled to interview Thursday, but it appears the Chiefs are making a push for the former Eagles boss and Somers reports the Cardinals confirm they are no longer pursuing Reid. They are planning to interview Denver Broncos OC Mike McCoy over the weekend.
