Dick Lebeau to be DC with Titans. Wonder why he left Pit? I thought he was retiring.

He specifically said he wasn't retiring when he left Pittsburgh.

I haven't heard any rumors about why he left.

How can you have 2 DC at the same spot when it said "Titans defensive coordinator Ray Horton will apparently stay in the same post."

Dick LeBeau to be named Titans assistant head coach

Legendary defensive coach Dick LeBeau is expected to be named assistant head coach with the Titans, where he'll be in charge of the defense, a source familiar with the situation said Tuesday.

An official announcement is expected later in the week.

LeBeau, the architect of the defenses that helped the Steelers win two Super Bowl titles and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, parted ways with the Steelers last month.

Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt reached out to LeBeau not long after, and more recently persuaded him to join the organization, the source said.

While LeBeau, 77, will be in charge of the defense, Ray Horton will remain on the staff as the team's defensive coordinator. Horton was hired by Whisenhunt last offseason.

LeBeau had been with the Steelers for 16 seasons, where he was a part of three Super Bowl teams. He served as defensive coordinator from 1995-96 and from 2004-14.

Whisenhunt was offensive coordinator opposite LeBeau when the Steelers won Super Bowl XL. Horton was defensive backs coach under LeBeau for seven seasons in Pittsburgh. Prior to that, Horton spent time with LeBeau in Cincinnati as a player and a coach.

Pittsburgh allowed the fewest yards in the NFL in five of the 13 seasons in which LeBeau led the defense.

In 2014, the Steelers finished 18th in the NFL in both scoring defense (23.0 points allowed per game) and total defense (353.4 yards per game).

LeBeau's presence should provide a boost to a defense that ranked 27th in the NFL in yards allowed and 29th in points in 2014. The Titans, of course, will need to upgrade their personnel to make LeBeau's defense work.

LeBeau discussed a potential job with the Arizona Cardinals last month but decided on the opportunity with the Titans instead.

Horton can't be too happy about it.

Horton can't be too happy about it.

Horton is the DC but Lebeau is in charge of the defense. He has the final say in everything on the defensive side of the ball

Guy they promoted had been waiting in the wings & presumably was going to take a job elsewhere if not promoted.

Oh, for some reason I thought I read he was retiring but must be wrong. My bad. Can't believe he's 77 and still coaching!

Ray Horton and Dick Lebeau coaching the same defense? Dear Lord.

Probably similar to having Andy Reid call the offense, yet have Pederson as an OC and Brad Childress doing whatever he did to make the passing game completely inept.

Fixed.

[Jimmya]

Agree with Titans offense being horrible...but they did beat the crap our of us in our own place :(

[Red Dawg]

Stupid move. He is a joke at his age and should just retire.

Ray Horton and Dick Lebeau coaching the same defense? Dear Lord.

It will be terrible.

[MahiMike]

This is a man that thinks he will shrivel up and die if he's not working his ass off.

He must suck at golf or something.

[Deberg_1990]

He sucked as a head coach though....

And stealing Hunts money.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Welp, after two years of Alex Smith, I now know what the "special" project was.

Todd Haley and the HC of Pittsburg are very hot headed annoying kids.

Didn't you watch them vs us? Im sure these guys go nuts in the locker and throw tons of tantrums.

Lebeau is too old and good for that kind of treatment.

Theres a reason why coaches like working for Reid

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Whisenhunt is a fucking clown and this is the kind of tribalistic hire that explains why he is 3-24 in his last 27 games.

LeBeau is closer to shuffling his feet down to the Activities Room than he is a coach's box.

Taco Tuesday?
You think that man is limiting tacos to just Tuesday?
