Report: Dick LeBeau not returning as Titans defensive coordinator

It appears as though new Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel will be bringing his own defensive coordinator to the staff, as sources told Jason Wolf of The Tennessean that 80-year-old Dick LeBeau will not return to the club next season.

The Hall of Fame defensive back just finished his 59th straight campaign in the NFL, but was informed Monday he won't be a part of Vrabel's staff.

LeBeau has two Super Bowl rings from his lengthy career as the defensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and served as head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals from 2000-02.

Prior to beginning his coaching career in 1973, LeBeau played 14 seasons with the Detroit Lions, snagging a franchise-record 62 interceptions.

The Titans ranked 17th in scoring defense last season under LeBeau, who would be "comfortable retiring if it doesn't work out in Tennessee," according to a source.
