As expected might be the case, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have a new defensive coordinator in 2022.
According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network on Saturday, Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler has informed the team that he is retiring. Butler has been with the steelers for the last 19 seasons.
Prior to joining the Steelers coaching staff in 2003 as the teams linebackers coach, Butler coached that same position group with the Cleveland Browns from 1999–2002. He was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2015 after the team decided to move on from Dick LeBeau.
It has been speculated for some time now that Butler would likely retire or be retired after the 2021 season.
