    Reasons: Steelers wouldn't let him out of the contract (should have known that was coming...3rd time it's happened too with Whiz I think) plus Coach Butler wanted a pure, not hybrid 3-4 defense

    Sorry guys...seemed like most of the pieces were there except these two

    Basically the Steelers are douchebags... That's the reason he can't join us.

    I guess the Steelers organization doesn't like their employees receiving promotions and succeeding in life.

    Not like they're going anywhere soon anyways.

    From my perspective, I completely agree. Dick Lebeau seems like he's too old to coach their D anymore plus we have a more favorable situation here in Tennessee with our young athletic players over their old/washed up players. I'm guessing he'll be the Steelers DC in 2015

    One of these days we're getting Keith Butler in TN.

    There was no way Tomlin (who will be on the hot seat next year) was going to let the coach of his strongest unit walk away..

    1 year too late.

    Yeah. Who knows what all went on behind the scenes though. Maybe Whisenhunt was a little too frank about the situation and damaged Leinart's ego? Purely speculation, but throwing a possible scenario out there.

    Also, Warner strikes me as a guy who is probably tough not to like if you're around him a lot. I'm sure there is/was some resentment there from Leinart, at least initially. But at the end of the day I think it's easier to blame the "stupid, unfair coach" as the reason you're sitting on the bench.

    Nope. This was our only chance.

    Like he said earlier... He'll probably be the DC for the Steelers next year.

    For now, I think I might be able to meet Whiz because him and Coach Butler love playing golf together and Coach Butler loves coming down here to TN to see the rest of the family occasionally in the offseason every year so at least I might be able to meet Coach Whiz!!! But yeah in terms of coaching, I really wish so too but I don't know how it could play out

    I've told him that plenty of times already LOL makes the news hurt even more because I'll still be the lone Titans fan in the family...It's still fun though as long as we keep beating them
