Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II confirmed that defensive coordinator Teryl Austin is set to return for the 2024 season and beyond, noting that he is happy to have him back. Austin led the Steelers to the sixth-ranked scoring defense in the NFL during the 2023 season.
“Teryl [Austin] will be back”, Rooney confirmed via the team’s website in an interview with Rob King. “I think we had a pretty solid year on defense, all things considered. Had some injuries to overcome, which wasn’t easy at times. I think Teryl has done a good job, and [I’m] happy that he’s gonna be back for the next couple years at least.
