LeBeau in as TN DC

This could change the draft. Joey Bosa will likely be the top player on most boards. Bosa is not really a fit in Lebeau's version of the 3-4 unless they wanted him to drop some weight and play OLB which could be possible because he has the athleticism.
 
So I guess we'll have Steelers west, and Steelers midwest.

I'll say

Mike Mularkey---HC
Dick LeBeau---DC
Ray Horton was their DC---I guess he’s gone now ?
Russ Grimm -- offensive line coach
Nick Eason is the DL coach,
Deshea Townsend is the DB coach..
Bobby April---_Special Teams Coordinator

Funny thing about it though. It's really not a Pittsburgh thing as much as it is a good ole boy thing. These assistants don't really get fired, they just move to another team. In fact they get passed around like "crazy Sally" at a bikers picnic.

Look at Ray Horton, for instance....

2014-15: Defensive Coordinator, Tennessee Titans
2013: Defensive Coordinator, Cleveland Browns
2011-12: Defensive Coordinator, Arizona Cardinals
2007-10: Defensive Backs Coach, Pittsburgh Steelers
2004-06: Assistant Defensive Backs Coach, Pittsburgh Steelers
2002-03: Secondary Coach, Detroit Lions
2001: Safeties Coach, Cincinnati Bengals
1997-00: Defensive Backs Coach, Cincinnati Bengals
1995-96: Assistant Defensive Backs Coach, Washington Redskins
1994: Defensive Assistant Coach, Washington Redskins

Or Mike Mularkey

Mularkey has 21 years of NFL coaching experience, including three-plus seasons as a head coach and eight as an offensive coordinator, with coaching stops in Jacksonville, Atlanta, Miami, Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay. In five of his eight seasons as a coordinator, Mularkey’s teams went to the playoffs.

Bobby April is another classic example....

Atlanta Falcons (1991–1993)...(Tight ends/Special teams coach)
Pittsburgh Steelers (1994–1995)...(Special teams coach)
New Orleans Saints (1996–1999)...(Special teams coach)
St. Louis Rams (2001–2003)...(Special teams coordinator)...
Buffalo Bills (2004–2009)...(Assistant head coach/Special teams coordinator)
Philadelphia Eagles (2010–2012)...(Special teams coordinator)
Oakland Raiders (2013–2014)...(Special teams coordinator)
New York Jets (2015)...(Special teams coordinator)
Tennessee Titans (2016–present)...(Special teams coordinator)

Kinda makes me wonder if NFL teams can actually have secrets from other teams ?

So Dick taking on the title of DC will likely change the draft?. Hmmm. Ok.

I don't think it will. For as long as they've been in contention for the top pick, Tunsil has been the name attached to the Titans. Plus, LeBeau was essentially the DC anyway, even if it wasn't his title last year.
