Teryl Austin Will Return As Defensive Coordinator, Steelers Say

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still expected to make coaching changes. The coordinators aren’t one of them. Owner Art Rooney II indicated OC Arthur Smith and DC Teryl Austin are slated to return in 2025.

“Mike certainly knows that he’s evaluating his staff and will continue to do so,” Rooney told Steelers’ play-by-play announcer Rob King in a 1-on-1 interview for the team website. “But the coaching staff, I think most of it will stay in place. Our coordinators I think will stay in place.

“I look forward to having Arthur Smith for a second year and having him have more of an opportunity to kind of really put his system in place.
