After spending the past three seasons as the Steelers' senior defensive assistant/secondary coach, Teryl Austin got the bump up to defensive coordinator following the retirement of longtime assistant Keith Butler in the offseason.
Then, a short time later, Mike Tomlin also added former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores to his staff as senior defensive assistant/linebackers, causing many to wonder what kind of tweaks Flores will bring to the defense.
Some have even seemingly forgotten that it is Austin, not Flores, who is the Steelers' defensive coordinator.
It might cause a rift on a staff that is less uncertain or experienced.
