re: Dick LeBeau resigns as Steelers DC

FWIW, per Ian Rapoport as quoted by Marc Sessler at NFL.com, LeBeau's resignation caught Steelers by surprise:

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported on NFL GameDay Morning that LeBeau's resignation caught the Steelers by surprise, per sources involved in the situation.

As for LeBeau, his future remains in question. Rapoport noted that both the Titans and Cardinals have emerged as the most likely landing spots if the coach takes another job. With connections to Bruce Arians in Arizona and Ken Whisenhunt in Tennessee, a consulting gig -- if not a coaching role -- looms as the potential next step for the celebrated defensive play-caller.

Elsewhere, the consensus is that LaBeau was forced into retirement, but this report confirms that his departure was voluntary. Not that it makes a damn bit of difference. It is HIGHLY unlikely LSU / The Hat (or any NCAA school) can land this whale.

Who knows. He was quoted saying he wanted to stay. But that could have been a mis-quote or could have meant I wanted to stay but so and so is an a-hole and I'm not putting up with this shite...
