Dick LeBeauDick LeBeau will be signing a one-year contract to remain defensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to a report by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Tuesday. The 73-year-old LeBeau customarily signs one-year deals with the Steelers following the end of each season.

"I'm not coaching anywhere but here," LeBeau told the Post-Gazette after returning from a golfing trip in North Carolina.

LeBeau, a 2010 Hall of Fame inductee, will return for his 10th season as Steelers defensive coordinator. LeBeau, who was the defensive coordinator in Pittsburgh during the 1995 and 1996 seasons, has served his second stint in the role since 2004.

Known for his creative zone-blitz schemes, LeBeau's defense finished the 2010 season ranked No. 2 overall and No. 1 against the run and sacks in the NFL.
