For 11 seasons, Keith Butler worked as a linebackers coach under Dick LeBeau. Last offseason, the Steelers parted ways with LeBeau and promoted Butler.

Naturally, there was trepidation about the move. LeBeau was a Hall of Famer, a defensive innovator, beloved by everyone, and had spent more than a half-century in football. But there was also no denying that those vaunted Steelers defenses of recent Super Bowl runs were a thing of the past.
