With their season over, the Pittsburgh Steelers are starting to announce some moves on the coaching staff. The first domino to fall is that of defensive coordinator Keith Butler, who has decided to retire after a life in the National Football League as both a player and a coach.
Tom Pelissero reported the news on Twitter Saturday afternoon:
#Steelers DC Keith Butler informed the team he is retiring, per sources.
Butler played 10 NFL seasons and was an assistant for 23 more, including 19 in Pittsburgh, where he was part of two Super Bowl wins. A big hole to fill on Mike Tomlin’s staff.
