Interesting you bring that up...

When Tomlin was hired, he kept LeBeau on AND he allowed LeBeau to continue to run the 3-4 defense that LeBeau favors. However, Tomlin was on record as saying that he preferred a switch to the 4-3 but he was deferring to the expertise and the excellence that LeBeau had shown for decades in the NFL.

Tomlin demonstrated flexibility and a willingness to accept the possibility that someone else on the staff might know more than he does about some aspect of the NFL game.

Hmmm.....
