About this listen

This audiobook edition features narration from Pittsburgh Steelers greats: Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu, 5-time Pro Bowler James Harrison, and coach Dick LeBeau himself.

To most NFL fans, Dick LeBeau is known as a football lifer, Pro Football Hall of Fame member, and mastermind behind the revolutionary zone blitz defense. But to Pittsburgh Steelers fans, LeBeau is the beloved defensive coaching genius who helped lead the Steelers to their last two championships—Super Bowl XL in 2005 and Super Bowl XLIII in 2008—crafting a devastating 3-4 defensive scheme that came to define a treasured era of football in Pittsburgh.

In Legendary, LeBeau along with veteran Steelers’ scribes Scott Brown and George Von Benko will revisit that unforgettably dominant 2008 defensive unit, one of the most feared and successful in the modern NFL landscape. A deep dive into each game of the 2007-2008 championship season, with added perspective of how that “Blitzburgh” defense stacks up against the other great contemporary defenses, LeBeau also intersperses revelations about the 2008 Steelers with anecdotes from his nearly 60 years in the NFL as both a star player and groundbreaking coach who spanned decades of football innovation.

This fond look back at the latest golden era for the Steelers also includes recollections from the legends on defense who helped bring LeBeau’s ground-breaking vision to life, from Hall of Fame safety Troy Polamalu to 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison to unheralded but essential linebacker James Farrior, and many more who count LeBeau as one of the most admired and brilliant coaches in league history.

Great insight and fun stories

Lots of great information that I hadn’t heard before. Full of great behind-the-scenes stories as well as Coach LeBeau’s perspective on things we watched. Plenty of entertaining stories, the best of which is one from his playing days which is hilarious and alone is enough to make this book a great read/listen! Too bad the picture he discussed isn’t included!

Change The Lombardi to The Lebeau

I'm a lifelong Steelers fan so I knew how good the 2008 team was. At least I thought I did. To hear it from probably the best defensive mind ever really drove it home.

I also knew Dick Lebeau was a class act. My adult daughter waited on his son at a golf resort retail shop about five or six years ago. She saw his name in the signature as asked if he was related. He said it was his dad and he was upstairs. Sure enough, within minutes Dick Lebeau came to meet my daughter for a conversation and a picture. The picture is in our living room.

To hear his personal stories as a player and his upbringing in Ohio was great. He brought back feelings of past generations like my grandparents but he also had the ability to really relate with young men in their 20's. He is truly one of a kind.

Greatest DC Ever

Coach Lebeau was one of the greatest defensive coordinators of all time and an even greater human being!
