Dick LeBeau Detailed How Mad Steelers Great Troy Polamalu Made Him When He Nearly Put His "Family Members At Risk"

[SteelerNation.com News]

One of the most underappreciated coaches in not only Pittsburgh Steelers' history, but in NFL history, is the great Dick LeBeau. He was a two-time Super Bowl champion, Sporting News Coordinator of the Year in 2008, and was inducted into the Pittsburgh Pro Football Hall of Fame. That is just talking about his time as a coach, LeBeau was an impressive player as well. He was a three-time Pro Bowl cornerback and was a part of the Detroit Lions' legendary secondary in the '60s. During his career, he recorded an insane 62 interceptions that helped his case for him to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

That's one brilliant football mind and even better man. Finding men like Mr.LeBeau is rare. This team hasn't accomplished much since he left.

One of my most favorite Coaches. A very very good defensive mind.

I liked how he read “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” story, and how close he was with his players.

What about his 2008 defense, one of the best ever……….


Salute the nation
