A Hall of Fame coach. A Hall of Fame player. Put Dick LeBeau and Troy Polamalu on the same team and you got greatness. LeBeau, a fantastic player in his own right but legendary defensive coordinator. Polamalu’s rare talent, athleticism combined with elite IQ and ultimate humility, a yearning to be coached.
Polamalu reveres LeBeau so much he thinks the name of the Super Bowl Trophy should honor Coach LeBeau. He also wrote the foreword to LeBeau’s new book Legendary, one our Scott Brown helped make possible, expressing what he meant to him on and off the field.
