Position: Defensive coordinator
Breakdown: Spent four seasons as Detroit's defensive coordinator, though Year 1 proved to be the high point. Detroit had the second-best defense in the league that year, allowed the third fewest points and was top-10 all time against the run. But Ndamukong Suh bolted after the season, and Detroit never finished better than 18th again. It was 27th last year. And with the Lions targeting a defensive coach to lead the way in 2018, Austin got out of town before he could be told to leave. He'll be the Bengals' defensive coordinator next year.
