Who else is tired of promoting from within? Raise your hand.
Unlike Fichtner, Canada, and Klemm, Austin at least has some NFL experience as a DC. The Steelers hired him as a senior defensive assistant/secondary coach with two of his focus points being on helping with replay reviews (eh) and placing an emphasis on creating turnovers by the secondary (overall pretty good).What exactly has Austin done to earn this job?
I’m more tired of the Cheerleader hiring incompetent and unqualified flunkies that quickly prove to be a complete and total joke. But then again, we’re talking about a “HC” that was given his job based on criteria that didn’t consist of proven skills or talent.Who else is tired of promoting from within? Raise your hand.
Why was he given the job Bobby? Do tell.I’m more tired of the Cheerleader hiring incompetent and unqualified flunkies that quickly prove to be a complete and total joke.

then they might as well promote Austin. Actually, don't hire a DC. There's no need for one. A good one, at least.Butler confirms what we all already knew (from the PG). No one is going to come here when Tomlin will still be calling all the plays.
“I would have liked to do them myself, sure I would,” Butler said. “I think everybody would. But Mike’s the head coach. He can do what he wants to do.”
It is two fold. Butler still taught well so that is always a need. You could see the difference between him and Porter. So coaching up is always a need but futile if you have a Jack er Mike in the box popping up with a ****** scheme and play calling.then they might as well promote Austin. Actually, don't hire a DC.

Anyway, of all of the issues I have with Tomlin, calling the defense may be the least of them. They play a style that is get after the QB and force turnovers and they're willing to sacrifice big plays on the ground and through the air. It's not the LeBeau defense of old where they played fundamental defense focused on stopping the run and preventing the big play.
100% agree. They may get a bunch of sacks but other than that, they have progressively gotten worse under Tomlin and his play calling. Way too many miscommunications and the big plays which go directly back to Tomlin and no one else.Too many blowout uncompetitive games for me. I have no desire to see him calling the defense moving forward.

About as much as Tomlin did when he got his job. One year as a DC with mediocre results is apparently the ticket.What exactly has Austin done to earn this job?
Last year it was reported the Steelers would promote Matt Canada to OC. They later interviewed Hue Jackson and Pep Hamilton (maybe another candidate or two) and still promoted Canada.Just a little confused Steeler Nation. You put out a report saying they intend to promote Austin. Then have two other reports for requesting interviews.
