News came out recently that the Pittsburgh Steelers extended the contract of Defensive Coordinator Teryl Austin. While Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin is very likely the defensive mind if you will, on gameday with a very high level of influence, it’s still up to Austin to right the ship following a disappointing season.
The Steelers entire defensive staff got more than admirable efforts out of players like Myles Jack, and Eric Rowe, towards the end of the 2023 season. However, don’t forget that there are still some serious questions on that side of the football that need to be addressed heading into 2024.
