Found this in the ESPN rumor mill....
Latest on LeBeau
For seven years, Dick LeBeau has patrolled the sidelines for the Pittsburgh Steelers, coordinating the blitz-heavy defense that has sent his team to three Super Bowls. At the age of 72, however, LeBeau may have coached his last game.
NFL Network's Jason La Canfora is reporting that LeBeau will decide next week whether he'll return for another season. The Steelers are ready to sign LeBeau to a one-year contract as early as Monday.
While the Steelers are optimistic that LeBeau will return ("It looks very positive," one source told La Canfora), they have a backup plan in place. If LeBeau retires, linebackers coach Keith Butler will likely step up to the defensive coordinator position. Ken Whisenhunt and the Arizona Cardinals asked to interview Butler for that position, but the Steelers denied the request, knowing that Butler was key to their plans going forward.
