Keith Butler believes his replacement for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ next defensive coordinator is just a few doors down. Joining 93.7 The Fan’s Andrew Fillipponi and guest appearance by Aditi Kinkhabwala, Butler strongly hinted that Steelers’ defensive assistant Teryl Austin will be the team’s next DC.
“He needs to get somebody that’s going to help him. I think he’s got an idea who he wants. I’m pretty sure that Teryl Austin is going get a good chance of being the coordinator here,” he told the show Monday.
Butler’s commentary comes as little surprise. Austin was expected to be the frontrunner for the job even before Butler officially announced his retirement over the weekend.
