PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are working to finalize a new two-year contract for defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Austin, who took over for former defensive coordinator Keith Butler in February 2022, has been with the organization for five seasons. Prior to his promotion, Austin served as a senior defensive assistant/secondary coach for three years. Austin, a Pitt product, also spent time as the defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals and Detroit Lions.
The Steelers had the seventh-ranked scoring defense in 2023, allowing opponents an average of just 18.
