PFT: Steelers give Butler permission to talk to Dolphins

Conventional wisdom has been that the Steelers saw LB Coach Keith Butler as the heir apparent to Dick LeBeau. Hence, why there was some waffle over whether Butler would be able to interview for the Cardinals DC job.

In fairness, the Steelers did finally come out and say that Butler had permission to interview (shortly after word got out that the Cards had already decided to give the job to Bill Davis).

This year, he's being allowed. Does make me wonder if there's been a change of heart on their part, or his :sosp:

It may be by the team, but probably a sign that when LeBeau hangs em up, they'll go Cover 2. Getting the "3-4" guys out of there makes that resistance less.

I was actually hoping Butler would've gotten the Bolts DC job in 07 - well I wanted LeBeau when I thought Tomlin would let him go and go C2.

i hope we get this guy as DC......but iam hearing from my people al groh is the lead candidate barring butler blowing us away during his interview (which is happening soon)

Groh took the GT job, and Schefter tweeted last night that it doesn't look like Butler's going to Miami, either.

      Trade Deadline Talk

      For the right price… but if they did they would be pulling a Tepper, because they are trying to evaluate Shough and taking his best WR away is making it hard on him.

      see we are just not going to agree - unless you change your mind lol. Mine isn’t changing without hard evidence that Morgan supported it like a puppy dog.  He was the assistant. If he disagreed and said so, and they didn’t listen, he has to pick his battles. If he continued to oppose he is looking for work. He knows this stuff. I think he knows Bryce is a super long shot just because he faced NFL QBs and probably would have salivated at the thought of Bryce on the other side in his playing days.  Anyway I am going to judge him on what he has done since he’s been the man with the title.  I also would bet a stack that there were conditions placed on him and on Canales re Bryce Young. Can’t prove it. I am not supporting the Brooks pick, and rationalizing the XL pick. And rationalizing the Brooks pick to an extent, on the (assumed by me) mandate that was a condition of the hiring. Which was ‘sell out’ to make Bryce work. This year. Now. (2024) That is what those top two picks were.  IMO. They failed, id judged today.  I think Morgan is doing a great job really, once he got his feet under him and was allowed to do his job.  Fixing this team while accommodating Tepper/Bryce, more than a two year fix.    Anyhow I have beer to drink will check back later.

      Dolphins pass rushers Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips: The Dolphins have received trade interest for both players, but could have an easier time trading Matthew Judon due to his more affordable contract
