Yesterday, we evaluated each core member of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive coaching staff and shared my thoughts on their performance and future. Today, we’ll do the same for the defense focusing on coordinator and each of the main position coaches.

Contrary to popular belief, Austin has done positive things here.
