Dick LeBeau on 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers LEGENDARY Defense, and his Hall of Fame Playing and Coaching Career

from In The Front Row Podcast · host Carver Court Productions

Dick LeBeau on 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers, Hall of Fame Playing Career and 45-Year NFL Coaching Career Dick Lebeau was born in London, Ohio just 25 miles from Columbus. He stayed close to home and played for legendary coach Woody Hayes at Ohio State and was a two-way player on the 1957 Buckeyes National Championship team. The Cleveland Browns drafted LeBeau in 1959 but cut him in training camp. He would sign with the Detroit Lions and spend 14 years in the Motor City where he was a three-time Pro Bowler and would be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010.  Following his playing career, LeBeau began what would be a 45-year coaching career starting as special teams coach with the Philadelphia Eagles. That led to an assistant coaching position under Bart Starr at Green Bay and notable stints with the Cincinnati Bengals (19 total seasons) and Pittsburgh Steelers (16 seasons). In his new book published by Triumph Books, "Legendary", co-written with Scott Brown and George Von Benko, LeBeau recounts the 2008 Steelers Super Bowl team. LeBeau tells us what made his defense so special on that 2008 team. He also takes us through his football journey, including lessons learned from Hayes and why he had mixed emotions working for Bart Starr. Now 86 years old, LeBeau still follows the NFL and tells us what his Sundays are like away from the game.
