The Pittsburgh Steelers have installed a brand new coaching staff after now-former head coach Mike Tomlin stepped down in January 2026. Along with Tomlin's departure, his defensive coordinator, Teryl Austin, was not retained. Austin's defense was underwhelming in 2025. A star-studded defense was only average overall and relied primarily on its ability to cause turnovers to keep them in games. Many blamed the scheme and the poor play-calling as a reason for the blunders. While Austin was served as the primary play-caller, Tomlin oversaw a lot of the defense's operations.
