PrintAfter hearing various rumors that he would retire after this season, reportedly Coach Dad confirmed to the players in a team meeting that he would come back in 2009.
It seemed pretty unlikely that he would retire, nevertheless there was always that small chance that he would. This is a great thing for the steelers, who can now count on another great season from their defense, for they will have one of the best, if not the best, defensive coordinator ever to play the game. Since he came back with the steelers in 2004, the steelers have had one of the elite defenses in the NFL, this reaching its highest point this year when the [insert steeler D nickname here] had the best performance by any defense in over 20 years, leading the NFL in all major categories except rushing D, where they finished 2nd.
I cant wait to see our D dominating every offense with Coach Dad calling the plays for yet another year! I cant imagine what this team would be like without him, seeing what an influence he's been on so many players. We definitely have the talent to be a succesfull D, but only Lebeau can call the right plays every time to keep the opposing offense on its heels.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves now, we still have to prove how good of a D we are by stopping the Cardinals' potent offense in Super Bowl XLIII. I know we will! Lets bring home that Steel City Six Pack!!!

Damn right
I’m so stoked. With all the crap the media has been slinging around, it’s good to hear good news. I wish we could cryogenically preserve Lebeau’s brain so future DC’s could pick at it and learn from the best. But one more year is awesome.

Great news
Maybe he should have told the defense he would only come back if they won!!
Winning for the old man is just one more reason to win the game. Dominating the Cardinals great offense is a more realistic motivation. Hopefully, Tomlin is playing that up a little bit !!
