Rank Keith Butler as among the most open and honest coaches when it comes to media interviews. And now that he’s recently retired coach Keith Butler, he’s as honest and blunt as ever. He joined 93.7 The Fan for a great interview Monday, one well worth your time, and was asked the biggest reason for the Steelers’ defensive struggles in 2021.
