PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - Earlier this week the Denver Broncos hired former Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio over Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak leading many to assume Munchak would be back with Pittsburgh, but not so fast.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Broncos are still interested in Munchak after not hiring him as their head coach.
Rapoport says that the Broncos contacted the Steelers about their intention to speak with Munchak about another position within the coaching staff adding Munchak impressed Denver during their search for a head coach.
Sources: The #Broncos have notified the #Steelers of their intention to speak with respected OL coach Mike Munchak, whose contract is up. He has been in talks with Denver about a deal there. He impressed those in Denver in their HC search.

#Steelers OL coach Mike Munchak is among the best at what he does, and Denver had him in the final 2 for their HC interviews. Possibly adding both Munchak and Vic Fangio would be quite a coup for the #Broncos… and clearly a rough loss for Pittsburgh.

Assistant shocker: Gary Kubiak will not be Denver's offensive coordinator, league sources tell ESPN.After lengthy discussions, Denver and Kubiak had different ideas on staffing and offensive philosophies. Both sides going in different directions.
