When the Pittsburgh Steelers first brought Teryl Austin on as part of the coaching staff with the title Senior Defensive Assistant/Defensive Backs, there was some initial speculation indicating that the team planned to divide the coaching responsibilities between himself and Tom Bradley, their defensive backs coach, splitting up the cornerbacks and safeties.
Back during the annual league meeting, Head Coach Mike Tomlin said that that would not be the case, and that instead they will work together with the whole group collectively, outside of the occasional on-field drill work that would see them divided.
