Art Rooney II: With Change In DC, ‘There May Be Some Changes In How Coach Tomlin Handles’ Playcalling (But Probably Not)

The 2021 season marked a whole lot of change for the Pittsburgh Steelers organization. The 2022 season has already promised even more, with three enormous retirement announcements in quick succession. First, and most predictable, was quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. He was quickly followed, however, most recently be general manager Kevin Colbert (sort of), as well as defensive coordinator Keith Butler.

Having served in that role for the past seven years, Butler has been a part of the Steelers organization for two decades, spending most of that time as linebackers coach. He succeeded Dick LeBeau in the role of coordinator in 2015, and largely carried on the same defense, with his own wrinkles.
