On today's episode, we're talking to Coach Dick LeBeau. Dick LeBeau was a football coach in the National Football League (NFL) from 1973 to 2017, finishing his career as the defensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans. Over his forty-five years of coaching his teams compiled a cumulative win/loss record of 353-347-2. He was the head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals from 2001 until the 2002 season, during which time the Bengals went 8-24-0. During his career he was a head coach for two seasons. LeBeau was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010 after his playing career. To most NFL fans, Dick LeBeau is known as a football lifer, Pro Football Hall of Fame member, and mastermind behind the revolutionary zone blitz defense. But to Pittsburgh Steelers fans, LeBeau is the beloved defensive coaching genius who helped lead the Steelers to their last two championships – Super Bowl XL in 2005 and Super Bowl XLIII in 2008 – crafting a devastating 3-4 defensive scheme that came to define a treasured era of football in Pittsburgh. In Legendary, LeBeau along with veteran Steelers' scribes Scott Brown and George Von Benko will revisit that unforgettably dominant 2008 defensive unit, one of the most feared and successful in the modern NFL landscape. A deep dive into each game of the 07-2008 championship season, with added perspective of how that “Blitzburgh” defense stacks up against the other great contemporary defenses, LeBeau also intersperses revelations about the 2008 Steelers with anecdotes from his nearly 60 years in the NFL as both a star player and groundbreaking coach who spanned decades of football innovation.   This fond look back at the latest golden era for the Steelers also includes recollections from the legends on defense who helped bring LeBeau's ground-breaking vision to life, from Hall of Fame safety Troy Polamalu to 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison to unheralded but essential linebacker James Farrior, and many more who count LeBeau as one of the most admired and brilliant coaches in league history.   How you can stay in touch with Linda: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest YouTube SoundCloud   "Proud Sponsors of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T"  Essential Formulas

The Pittsburgh Steelers are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their 1974 Super Bowl season. But one story from that year is getting overshadowed during the celebrations of the birth of the dynasty. That year, Joe Gilliam became the first black quarterback in the Super Bowl era to be named QB1 to start a season. He led the Steelers to a 4-1-1 record before Chuck Noll replaced him with Terry Bradshaw. Documentary filmmaker Dexter Rogers joins us to talk about the racial dynamics that surrounded that decision and how Gilliam's benching fueled his depression and addiction that would derail his career. We'll also talk about the Mike Tomlin apology tour that's been in effect since the Steelers victory over the New York Jets. Plus, why some say Russell Wilson was actually bailed out by his playmakers. Also Teryl Austin gets criticized for playing TJ Watt no differently than Dick LeBeau played James Harrison. And a Primate sandwich fit for a starting quarterback. What Yinz Talkin' Bout is the conversation about the Steelers social media conversation, exposing the week's hot and toxic takes. Hosted by Kyle Chrise and Greg Benevent. Watch ⁠"Joe Gilliam: What could have been but never was"⁠ Join the ⁠What Yinz Talkin' Bout slack⁠

The Pittsburgh Steelers start the season with a win on the road! Our guest is a lifelong member of Steelers Nation: Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC and the podcast "Name Drop." He'll reveal the origin of his black and gold passion, his favorite Steelers players, what went down at Troy Polamalu's celebrity flag football game, and how he's turning his son into the next generation of Steelers fans. Plus, some fans couldn't handle the drama of Week 1. We'll reveal those who have already thrown in their Terrible Towels. Despite Mike Tomlin's best efforts, some are trying to manifest a QB controversy. There's not a consensus yet about Arthur Smith, and some are already evoking the essence of Matt Canada. But on the flip side, others are already sizing up the defense for the Super Bowl rings. Lastly, why L.C. Greenwood has a chance, albeit slim, of finally getting a shrine in Canton.

Pittsburgh fans should remember last year's perfect pre-season and not jump to any conclusions after one pre-season game. But that's not Steelers Nation style! We'll break down the assumptions on Russ vs Justin, Art Smith's "risky" offense, the youngsters on the offensive line, and even Brandon Aiyuk. Plus, Mike Tomlin returns to The Pivot.

From the 2024 offensive line to Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin and many things in between, we try to sort out what has merit and what deserves demerit. Then, we look at some way to early season projections that have the Steelers making history for all the wrong reasons. Only one problem, the math doesn't add up.

July 12, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 153 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I start by discussing Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens and QB Justin Fields both participating in Elite Week in Texas this week along with several other high-profile NFL Players. We also discuss Steelers QB Russell Wilson and RB Najee Harris both getting in work together this week at UCLA. We move on to have a deep and lengthy conversion about Harris and fellow Steelers RB Jaylen Warren and where both ranked in a recent 2023 advanced statistics study that I completed on NFL running backs. Specifically, we discuss where Harris and Warren both ranked in ROE%, EXP15% and SUCC% last season when stacked up against 38 other running backs that had 125 rushing attempts or more. We discuss ROE% versus SUCC% and the value of explosive runs of 15 yards or longer. We also discuss our takeaways from this particular stats study when it comes to the 2024 expectations for the Steelers' running game. After talking extensively about running back stats, Alex and I are pleased to welcome our very own Scott Brown back to the show. Tuesday was the official release date of Dick LeBeau's new book, "Legendary" and it mostly revolves around the Steelers' legendary 2008 defense. Alex and I spent roughly 40 minutes with Brown talking to him about the new book he co-authored, the 2008 defense, and much more. We also discuss Brown's media experience history and much more. In "Legendary," LeBeau and veteran scribes Brown and George Von Benko, revisit the unforgettably dominant 2008 Steelers defensive unit, one of the most feared and successful in the modern NFL landscape. You can purchase that book from the publisher at this link and get 30% off by using the code Steel30. We certainly do appreciate Brown spending 40 minutes with us on the podcast.

Legendary Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau joins the "Bleav in Steelers" show to discuss his new book "Legendary." The book is due out on July 9. LeBeau's book focuses on what made the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2008 defense legendary. "Bleav in Steelers" co-host Ike Taylor played 11 of his 12 NFL seasons with LeBeau, who was the Steelers' defensive coordinator from 2004-2014. LeBeau discussed his career, 14 years as a Hall of Fame cornerback and 45 years as a legendary coach. He discussed how he used his knowledge as a player to coach. Taylor and LeBeau shared their Steelers memories. It includes winning Super Bowl XL and Super Bowl XLIII. He also shared what it was like coaching Taylor. LeBeau also shared what made the fire-zone blitz defensive scheme so effective. Taylor explains why the Steelers players had so much respect for LeBeau.

Or will it be off-the-radar names including Scotty Miller and Cordarrelle Patterson? Then later, Pirates insider Andrew Destin joins Christopher to discuss Paul Skenes' latest dominant start for the Pirates in a win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.

The Raiders fired Josh McDaniels last night in a move that probably makes the Steelers front office laugh. But the guys said they shouldn't be laughing anymore. Will they ever put Mike Tomlin on any sort of hot seat? Will the Steelers end the playoff drought this season?

April 14, 2023 - Season 13, Episode 114 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly agreeing to terms with special teams ace Tanner Muse on Friday. We discuss what his addition means and particularly if it might impact the Steelers selecting an inside linebacker in the 2023 NFL Draft.Thanks to our site editor Scott Brown, we were fortunate enough to have a 30-minute interview with Hall of Famer and former Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau on Wednesday night. LeBeau talks to us about his forthcoming book on the Steelers 2008 defense that Brown is writing. Coach LeBeau talks to us about how former Steelers safety Troy Polamalu turned the corner in in his second NFL season, the first time he ran the Fire Zone defense, the most unsung hero of those great Steelers' defenses he coached and much more.Obviously, we were thrilled and thankful to talk to Coach LeBeau for 30 minutes and hope to do it again next summer ahead of his book hitting the marketplace. Thanks again to Brown for setting this interview up for us.It was reported during our Friday show that former Steelers outside linebacker Bud Dupree is signing with the Atlanta Falcons so Alex and I obviously address that news. The Steelers also announced two more top 30 pre-draft visitors during this show, so Alex and I discuss that news as well.Is Lukas Van Ness out of Iowa a legitimate first-round option for the Steelers in the 2023 NFL Draft? Alex and I circle back to discussing him in this show. We discuss his tape, how he was used at Iowa and how he would fit in Pittsburgh if the Steelers were to draft him.We answer a few listener questions late in this show to close things out. We mix in other Steelers talk throughout this episode that is not noted in this recap post.
