Gerry Dulac reported a few days ago that the Pittsburgh Steelers were interested in adding a new coaching position to the staff. That came to fruition yesterday when they hired former Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Teryl Austin to be a defensive assistant, with a focus on the secondary.
According to Dulac, the Steelers are expected to divide the secondary responsibilities between Austin and defensive backs coach Tom Bradley, with one focusing on the cornerbacks and one on the safeties. He did not specify which coach would focus on which position.
