Steelers linebacker James Farrior said something the other day that clearly agitated defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau.
"I hope we're not running him off by the way we're playing."
You know, to retirement.
"I would hate to see him go out like this," Farrior said, shaking his head.
LeBeau didn't want to hear it.
"The last thing I want the players to think is that I'm going to turn tail and run away just because the going gets a little rough," he said. "We preach all the time about sticking together and fighting through adversity. How would it look if I walked away now? I'm not going to run away from those guys. I'm going to stay right here and fight with them."

I cursed LeBeau a lot this year but the simple fact is,when you look at the players he had to work with....well the results speak for themselves.
I'm glad he's staying.
