NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Longtime defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau will not return to the Tennessee Titans next season, according to multiple reports.
LeBeau, whose role with the team was jeopardized Saturday when the Titans hired defensive-minded Mike Vrabel as their head coach, could not be reached for comment. He's expected to consider retirement.
The news was first reported Monday by PaulKuharsky.com.
LeBeau, 80, has been a coach or player in the NFL for 59 consecutive seasons. He joined the Titans in 2015 as assistant head coach/defense before being placed in his defensive coordinator role prior to the 2016 season.
