Keith Butler, the man entrusted with replacing a coaching legend, had other opportunities to become a defensive coordinator in the NFL.

He turned down chances to interview for that position with the Indianapolis Colts, Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans, in part because he didn’t want to leave but also because the Steelers made it financially attractive for him to stay.

The Steelers had a plan, and that was for Butler, 58, a former linebacker for 10 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, to replace Dick LeBeau eventually as their defensive coordinator.
