Why?

Bengals Wire wrote:: Austin’s Bengals defense was on pace to finish as one of the worst of all time before the front office fired him, forcing head coach Marvin Lewis to pick up the duties while juggling his responsibilities as head coach.

Bengals Wire wrote:: Austin gets a serious downgrade here as an assistant after years of being a coordinator and considered for head-coach jobs. Interestingly enough, the Steelers intend for him to help defensive backs, which particularly struggled under his guidance in Cincinnati because he took guys like William Jackson out of their comfort zone, asking them to play zone.

In all fairness to him, he was at Cincy for 1 year. He's got a long and storied coaching backgrounders including 3 Super Bowls (2 wins I believe?). Its hard to blame him for the mess that was in place before he got there.

I'm not saying its a good hire, but his entire career should be considered, not just the year he was at the dumpster fire called Cincinnati.
