The Arizona Cardinals are bringing in a veteran defensive coach to help our Nick Rallis’ staff.
Jeremy Fowler is reporting the Arizona Cardinals are bringing in longtime defensive coach Teryl Austin to be a defensive assistant.
Austin was with the Steelers from 2019-25, serving as the team’s defensive
coordinator from 2022-25. He previously served as the defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals and Detroit Lions.
While the final season was rough, Austin had a top 10 scoring defense from 2022-2024 with the Steelers.
Austin has a history with the Cardinals as he served as defensive backs coach from 2007-2009, which includes their Super Bowl run.
He is the second veteran presence on the defensive staff this offseason, joining former Texas Longhorns defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski, who will serve as the Cardinals defensive line coach.
Welcome back to the desert, Coach Austin, let’s hope you have even more success this time.
