Abysmal. Offensive. Laughable.
You can pick and choose which adjective you’d like to describe the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ defensive play last season. Ultimately, changes needed to be made; so they were, and swiftly. The Steelers “mutually parted ways” with long-time defensive coordinator and Hall of Fame inductee Dick LeBeau, but we’re all aware he was told he no longer had a place in the organization.
The more important change made to the Steelers’ defensive unit was not the firing of LeBeau, though. It did not even happen after the season had ended.
