Steelers defensive cooridinator Dick LeBeau is honored as he gets inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.



If Dick LeBeau were awed at the site of the entire Steelers organization and more turning out for his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he should have seen the reactions of some players he mentioned in his speech.
LeBeau took time to call out a number of current and former Steelers in Canton, Ohio, Saturday night, including cornerback Ike Taylor and nose tackle Casey Hampton.
"My phone was blowing up," Taylor said about the immediate reaction of hearing his name called by LeBeau. "I had my phone on vibrate; I could hear the phone, zzzz, zzzz, zzzzz.

Coach Lebeau is such a class act all the way around and this really didn't surprise me at all. :drink: To read about Big Snack mushing up at Coach's mention and praise of him was amusing though. :lol:

Congrats again Papa Lebeau and I hope you've got a lot of more years in ya coaching our D! :pray:

Steelers still reveling in LeBeau's Hall induction

Steelers inside linebacker James Farrior is entering his 14th NFL season and has won two Super Bowls during his decorated career.
Yet Farrior -- and more than a few of his teammates -- turned into an awestruck fan Saturday night when the Steelers traveled to Canton, Ohio, to watch Dick LeBeau's induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Indeed the players that are regularly asked for autographs and to pose for pictures did the same when they got a chance to meet some of the Hall of Famers prior to the induction speeches.
"We were like groupies out there," Farrior said. "Me and (Larry) Foote were walking around and I had my camera with me. We were trying to get all the pictures."..............

LeBeau is the epitome of class. My favorite player changes as the roster changes...but LeBeau will always be one of my favorite coaches.
