Teryl Austin was the first of six people to interview for the Detroit Lions head coaching job after the season, but even he knew he didn't have much chance to get the job.
"I interviewed in Detroit, but it probably wasn’t going to happen because of what happened to us as a staff," Austin said during the news conference to introduce him as Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator on Thursday.
The Lions still have not hired a coach, but Austin withdrew himself from the running to replace Jim Caldwell when he accepted a position with the Bengals this week.
