Welcome Dick LeBeau!

As reported by Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean, LeBeau will be joining the Titans as an assistant head/defensive coach. Now let's get into what this means.

LeBeau is 77 years young and has been in the NFL for 56 years. Wow! LeBeau has extensive history with Horton and Whiz which could be a good thing. Horton's current defense is a similar but tweaked version of a tradition LeBeau 3-4 defense.

In a perfect world:

LeBeau and Horton work seamlessly together by discussing and working hand in hand to create a nasty defense in Tennessee. I have great confidence in this situation but it also comes with some concession of Horton. LeBeau's real value will come in adjustment and player talent analysis. He has a pretty good track record of making solid decisions on personal and his opinion should be taken with a great deal of respect from Ruston Webster and co. I truly think he will be a great addition to our talent evaluation and draft war room team. I hope all of this comes true!

Worst Case Scenario:

LeBeau simply doesn't have it anymore and lacks the energy and passion to truly turn Tennessee around. A team that has a long way to go may be too much for LeBeau at this stage of his career. We look like a team who wants to become "Steeler light" so hopefully this will help.

My analysis:

Great hire. LeBeau will pick Leonard Williams as a great 5 technique player and pair him with Casey. If you follow my FaceBook page you know I love this idea. Texans have J.J Watt we have two beasts. Also, anyone who Andrew Luck will have to face and fear I love the idea of. Lastly, some ex Steelers will follow him, maybe a James Harrison, Jason Worlids, or someone like that. Anyone who can be an upgrade at the pass rushing OLB position will be great.

What our your thoughts Titan Nation?

Thanks!
