The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a number of changes to their coaching staff over the past two years, some being made by choice, others forced upon them. In some cases, they have reduced their numbers, folding the quarterback and outside linebacker position coaches into the duties of their offensive and defensive coordinators’ purview, respectively.
But this offseason they also added an additional coaching position to the staff in order to accommodate the hiring of Teryl Austin, an area native who has most recently served as defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions and Cincinnati Bengals and has been interviewed for head coaching positions for several years.
