It looks like long-time Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau is taking a similar path that former offensive coordinator Bruce Arians took after his departure. According to a report by Jim Wyatt, the Tennessee Titans beat writer for the Tennessean, LeBeau will join the Titans coaching staff as an assistant head coach, defensive coach with the Titans.
Former #Steelers DC Dick LeBeau is expected to be named assistant head coach/defense with the #Titans, per sources.

This dispels the notion that LeBeau would join Arians in Arizona, as it was rumored to be the destination spot for the 77-year-old.
If LeBeau does in fact go to Tennessee, it would happen just days after Pittsburgh City Council named February “Dick LeBeau Month.”
LeBeau, who is widely known for his blitzing and complex schemes, will reportedly join head coach Ken Whisenhunt and defensive coordinator Ray Horton. Horton, according to Wyatt, will remain the defensive coordinator for the Titans, who finished 2-14 during the 2014 campaign.
LeBeau will be in charge of the defense with the #Titans. Ray Horton will remain DC with team. Announcement expected later in week
