Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

He is a better DC than Rob Ryan by at least a factor of 10.

"I’m resigning this position, not retiring,” LeBeau told the Urbana Daily Citizen in Ohio. “I had a great run in Pittsburgh. I’m grateful for all the things that have happened to me and thankful for all the support I had in Pittsburgh.”

Report out that John Fox (a Sean Payton Friend) maybe out if they lose this game.

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

If Fox is fired, he will likely move to the top of the list of several teams looking for a head coach.

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

nice speech coach but better be let out than kicked out. another great coach that the games getting harder to figure out. best of luck wherever u land. and he may be getting that head job again? jmo

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

77 years old a lot of great Coaching years, getting cold in the bones in Pittsburgh.

Guy reminds me of Joe Paterno a little bit ... without all the scandal, :neutral:.

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

100% class guy. Well-respected by everyone, and record of success speaks for itself.

maybe we hire him to mentor RR

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

From a cynical/cold hearted point of view i would't touch somebody that will be 78 when the season starts.

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

Anyone think he could take Vitts spot and shed some type of light on the lb, core. He has put together some fine D's over the years. Wishful thinking!!

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

I could see LeBeau as a defensive co-ordinator assistant.

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

Lebeau for LB coach! :bng: Hell; just let him over-see the draft picks dedicated to the defense

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

Lets bring him in!!!!

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

He's rumored to be having some involvement with Arizona. Either as DC if Bowles leaves or as an assistant.

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

I think we simply don't have enough talent at Linebacker. We could call in an army of coaches and the only light shed would be "get some new ones."

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

Let's see, a 78 year old man trying to communicate to our immature, spoiled, and Twitter-abusing young defense, many of whom apparently don't respect past players, past SB rings or a lifetime winning body of work. Sounds like a trainwreck to me.

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

yeah not gonna happen got this feeling we are stuck with RR.

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

Let's see, leaving PITT weather for Arizona weather at 78 yrs old, no brainer.

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

alright the talent pool is getting deeper and Rob is in the shallow end. want to get serious about changes? prove it. huge upgrades the both of them

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

Too late. Sean has already said he's staying. RR needs some quality assistants that can help him institute his system.

Re: Dick LeBeau Resigns as Steelers Defensive Coordinator
 

With a cajun name like Lebeau, I am sure he'd be happy to coach the uber talented Saints LB corps.
