Teryl Austin Biography :

Teryl Austin is entering his fifth season as an NFL assistant and first with the Cardinals after being hired to coach defensive backs on 1/18/07. Austin comes to the Cardinals having a reputation for developing young defensive backs the past four years in Seattle. He was instrumental in the development of Seattle’s secondary heavily pieced together through the NFL Draft, mentoring draft picks Marcus Trufant (1st Round, 2003), Ken Hamlin (2nd Round, 2003), Michael Boulware (2nd Round, 2004) and Kelly Jennings (1st Round, 2006).

The 2006 season marked the 11th consecutive year, dating back to his days as an assistant at the Syracuse University, that Austin’s team appeared in the postseason. In capturing their third consecutive NFC West crown last year, the Seahawks secondary intercepted nine passes, held opponents to under 200 net yards passing in eight of their last 11 games and finished sixth in the NFC in passing yards allowed per game (203.5).

In winning the NFC in 2005, Austin's secondary, despite missing a combined 19 games due to injury, helped carry the Seahawks to the Super Bowl. The defensive backfield was led by safety Michael Boulware, who in only his second NFL season, led the team in interceptions (four) and was second on the team in tackles (73).

In 2004, Austin coached a group of Seahawks defensive backs that, for just the second time in Seahawks history (1984), had three different players intercept at least five passes and for the first time since 1984, all four starters intercepted at least four. Collectively, the Seahawks ranked 3rd in the NFL with 23 interceptions and collected at least one pick in all but two games.

Prior to joining the Seahawks in 2003, Austin was an assistant for 12 years at the collegiate level where he also coached defensive backs. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Penn State (1991-1992) before heading to Wake Forest (1993-1995), Syracuse (1996-1998) and Michigan (1999-2002).

While coaching at the college level, Austin found his niche for developing young NFL caliber players. At Syracuse he mentored All-Americans Donovan Darius and Kevin Abrams. Darius was named the 1997 Big East Conference Player of the Year and went on to become a first-round NFL Draft pick with fellow defensive back Tebucky Jones the first time in Syracuse history that two Orangemen were selected in the first round. He also coached NFL talents Will Allen (Dolphins) and Keith Bulluck (Titans) at Syracuse and tutored Marlin Jackson (Colts) and Cato June (Colts) while at Michigan. As well as developing individual talents, Austin also helped lead teams to seven consecutive bowl berths from 1996-2002.

A 1988 graduate of Pittsburgh with a bachelor’s degree in communications, Austin was a three-year starter and four-year letterman (1984-87) for the Panthers playing in the 1984 Fiesta and the 1987 Bluebonnet Bowls. After graduating, Austin competed in the training camps of the Washington Redskins and Hamilton Tiger-Cats before playing for the Montreal Machine of the World League of American Football in 1991.

Born March 3, 1965, Austin and his wife, April, are the parents of five children three sons, Tyler, Trey and Torin, and two daughters, Alexa and Alivia.
