Wolverines Fan Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Per rotoworld, http://www.rotoworld...489/dick-lebeau The Urbana Daily Citizen reports the Steelers have agreed to mutually part ways with DC Dick LeBeau. It's the end of an era in Pittsburgh. LeBeau, 77, had been the Steelers' defensive coordinator since 2004. His units have dropped off in recent years, with Pittsburgh allowing a weekly 353 total yards in 2014, and ranking near the bottom of the league in both sacks (33) and interceptions (11). That, of course, had a lot to do with LeBeau's sub-par personnel. LeBeau, who has been an NFL coach for 42 years, is not expected to retire. LB coach Keith Butler is an in-house candidate to replace LeBeau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Sounds like a force-out to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Dom Capers is now the longest tenured DC in the NFL at 6 years. Sort of a sad reckoning of the state of the NFL in some regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Rookie Me........ Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 In the history of what he has done I salute LeBeau and wish him the best. He at one time of his tenure had a bad ass squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingd Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm guessing he ends up consulting somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
