Keith Butler is retiring after seven seasons as defensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Butler has been with the Steelers organization for 19 years and took over for Dick LeBeau as defensive coordinator in 2015 after 12 seasons as the linebackers coach.

As defensive coordinator, Butler continued the organization's tradition of a dominant pass rush.

One option to replace Butler is likely Steelers senior defensive assistant and secondary coach Teryl Austin, who was hired by the organization in January 2019.
