According to a report from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, the Pittsburgh Steelers won’t make an outside hire to replace Joey Porter. Instead, as they floated earlier this month, Keith Butler will take over Porter’s duties.
From the PPG:
“The Steelers are not going to hire a replacement for former outside linebackers coach Joey Porter and will instead have defensive coordinator Keith Butler assume the role in addition to his current duties, according to sources.”
Butler will still retain his title as defensive coordinator and operate the same as he did last year, according to the Post-Gazette.
