Eleanor Miriam Gallagher died Wednesday at the age of 81, four days after Dick LeBeau resigned as the Steelers' defensive coordinator. He obituary doesn't think it was a coincidence.

LeBeau, 77, had been the Steelers' defensive coordinator since 2004, but somehow it seemed like it had been much longer.
