There is a good possibility that Pittsburgh Steelers linebackers coach Keith Butler will leave the team after the Super Bowl to become the Arizona Cardinals' defensive coordinator, a source with knowledge of the situation said Wednesday.

Credit where it's due. Wiz knows good coaching when he sees it.

My thoughts exactly.

I hope Butler is smart enough to realize that he is the heir apparent to Papa Lebeau. If given the chance to DC the Cards now with their cast of characters or to wait a year or two to DC the Steelers D (with more talent waiting in the wings) - he'd be a complete moron to bite on Wis' offer.

On a side note - who knows what to believe? The rumor du jour a few days ago was that Lebeau was going to AZ. :doh:

If memory serves I beleive he turned them down once already when Wiz took the head coaching job.

LeBeau should talk with him after the Superbowl about when he can take over.

Before you know it, Whiz is going to go after Colbert and Omar Khan too.

Exactly--

and on the other side- is it possible for him to go somewhere, and build up the team we have here? I'd have to say no to that as well.

Whiz will order the Steelers insignia to replace the bird on the helmets. Soon, he will open up steel mills in Phoenix.

Its a bit annoying to read these gossip reports. Lets be honest though. Whiz is doing the one thing every other NFL team wants to do. Build a exact replica of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Good luck with tat, you aint getting him buddy. If he was really eager to get a DC job he would of easily taken the Dolphins job who have a hell of a lot more talent in Defense. I highly doubt that happening. I think if we win LeBau might retire and Butler will take over.

The talk a week ago was that Ray Horton was being pursued. My guess is somebody is gonna leave...either Butler, Horton or maybe both.

That's going to come when Cowher decides he wants to coach again...

Indeed. Green Bay, anyone?? How annoying that is. Now you got Pittsburgh vs......Green Bay (Steelers wannabees!)

AZ sucks since Warner retired. I don't know why anyone would want to go there.

Yeah, I'd like to think Butler is smarter than getting onto that sinking ship

Lebeau (sadly) won''t coach forever. If he's smart he'll wait a little longer

Not quite! (evil chuckle with much diabolical wringing of the hands) Somehow he's gotta figure out how to get 1 Lombardi, let alone 2!! (more evil laughter)

They'll just start printing the red chicken on one side of their helmets...the *left* side so people don't accuse them of copying.
