The Steelers are expected to finalize a deal with Teryl Austin within the next 48 hours to be their new defensive coordinator, replacing Keith Butler, according to sources.
Austin, who has been the team's senior defensive assistant/secondary coach the past three seasons, has been considered the leading candidate since Butler, 66, retired after 19 seasons with the Steelers, the last seven as defensive coordinator.
This is the third time Austin, 56, will be a defensive coordinator in the NFL. He previously served in the capacity with the Detroit Lions (2014-17) and Cincinnati Bengals (2018).
