The Pittsburgh Steelers will have some massive shoes to fill this offseason.
Defensive coordinator Keith Butler, who has been with the organization since 2003, has announced today that he'll be retiring.
"It is an emotional day as I announce I am retiring from my football coaching career," Butler said in a statement released by the team. "I have spent every year since 1990 as a coach in the NFL and the NCAA, but the time is right for me to walk away after a successful career both playing and coaching the game I love.
"I want to thank the Rooney Family, Bill Cowher, Mike Tomlin and all the coaches and players that I have been involved with over my entire coaching career. I look forward to spending more time with my family, whom have been so supportive of me throughout the years. I wish nothing but the best to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I will be cheering them on during my retirement."
Butler first came to Pittsburgh as linebackers coach in 2003 after having spent three years with the Cleveland Browns. He would eventually be promoted to defensive coordinator in 2015.
