Alright, this is obviously a night to celebrate what the Cincinnati Bengals just did and pay no attention to anything else, but this is just too rich to pass up.
Remember Teryl Austin? The guy the Bengals hired and fired after just nine games after his defense became the first in NFL history to give up 500+ yards in three straight games and was consistently a disaster?
Yeah, he’s the new defensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers, replacing the departing Keith Butler, per Aaron Wilson.

Now, Butler was certainly no Dick LeBeau, but he did an admirable job with what he had throughout his Steelers tenure.
