The Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster and coaching staff—and front office—have undergone significant changes in just the past few months. Defensively, their defensive coordinator, Keith Butler, retired, a move that prompted them to promote Teryl Austin to that role, a title he has worn in other cities before.
While head coach Mike Tomlin has long held a heavy hand over the defense, he has added a wealth of experienced defensive minds around him, including the February hiring of Brian Flores, who was rooted in the Bill Belichick tree and spent the past three seasons as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins.
