Could the Steelers fire Teryl Austin before the season is over?
The Steelers entered the 2025 season expecting historic things from Teryl Austin’s defense, and in the wrong way, they are getting that. At least through eight weeks, they are on pace to have their lowest-ranked defense in franchise history. That won’t quite put you in the record books with the Steel Curtain and the Ravens and Buccaneers.
The Steelers are not a team prone to making many rash moves, let alone in-season. But there is now precedent in recent history for making such a move as firing Teryl Austin.
