EXCLUSIVE: February To Be "Dick LeBeau Month" In Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – A big honor is in the works for a sports legend.
Dick LeBeau is leaving the Steelers after 56 seasons in the NFL, including a dozen here as defensive coordinator.
We've learned City Council is poised to proclaim February "Dick LeBeau Month" in Pittsburgh.
He'll be honored in council chambers next Tuesday and several of his former players are expected to be there, including James Harrison and Ike Taylor.
