Feb 15, 2011 - Legendary defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau won't be leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 72 year old told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he's not going anywhere and will stay in Pittsburgh.

Per usual, LeBeau will sign a one-year contract with the Steelers. Most Steelers assistants are signed to two-year deals but LeBeau chooses to sign one year deals, as he has every year with the Steelers since 2004. Since LeBeau's return in 2004, the Steelers defense has ranked in the top three on five separate occasions.

I never thought he would leave if they lost the SB. I don't see Papa Coach going out like that.

I say we take the Philly approach and let Coach Lebeau guide the offense and Arians run the D and see what happens.

One more for the road. Can you imagine Ward, Smith and LeBeau retiring on the same day?

The pieces of the puzzle are falling into place. If we have a half decent draft, I like our chances of heading back to Indy for XLVI. If there is a season.
