Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dantés" data-source="post: 890818" data-attributes="member: 12283">Another candidate...Teryl Austin, Senior Defensive Assistant and Secondary Coach, Steelers.From '91 to '02, Austin was a defensive assistant and a DB's coach for various college programs (Penn State, Wake Forest, Syracuse, Michigan).His first stints in the NFL were both in the role of DB's coach, with the Seahawks from '03 to '06, and with the Cardinals from '07 to '09.He had his first run as a DC in 2010 for the Florida Gators, but only lasted one season, as Urban Meyer resigned after that season. He served as the defensive backs coach for the Ravens from 2011 to 2013, and became the defensive coordinator for the Lions from 2014 to 2017, and then for the Bengals in 2018. For the last two years, he's been with the Steelers, who have been a fantastic defense this season.So Austin has had a ton of success virtually everywhere he's been as a DB's coach, and he has experience as a coordinator. However, his actual work as a DC has been a little uneven-- he had some good years and some down years for the Lions, things in Cincinnati ended poorly. But he has proven that he's capable of coordinating a great unit (see 2014 Lions). So he's at least interesting.</blockquote>
