With the Pittsburgh Steelers on the hunt for a new head coach, this means the team's coordinators are also looking for new teams as well. Special teams coordinator Danny Smith already has a job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has several interviews.
Now we get word via Pro Football Talk that the Washington Commanders are interviewing defensive coordinator Teryl Austin for their vacancy. This is the first we've heard of any teams interest in Austin. General Manager Omar Khan told all the coaches to clean out their offices and they didn't know if they would have jobs with the Steelers or not once a new head coach is hire.
Austin's reputation during his time with the Steelers has always been that of an underachiever. The Steelers consistently have the most expensive defense in the NFL, but rarely play like it. There's always been some question as to just how much control Austin had over the defense or if he was more or less just executing the gameplan from Tomlin.
