Cardinals lose defensive backs coach to Florida

Last week, Florida defensive coordinator George Edwards left Gainesville for Buffalo, taking the same job with the Bills.

This week, coach Urban Meyer has filled the void by hiring Arizona Cardinals defensive backs coach Teryl Austin, according to Mike Jurecki of XTRA Sports 910AM in Phoenix.

Austin joined the Cardinals in 2007, after four seasons with the Seahawks.  Prior to that, the 44-year-old former defensive back with the Montreal Machine of the World League of American Football coached at the college level, including stops at Penn State, Wake Forest, Syracuse, and Michigan.

Perhaps the best news for Austin is that, by leaving the NFL, he’ll use the term “lockout” only when he forgets his keys on his dresser.

    I’d leave the NFL for college too. College will always be around, the NFL has one more lame duck season then it’s over.

    @GoBrowns19
    I think you meant the Browns having one more lame duck season.
    @Tim
    *lockout – and you should probably re-evaluate what is considered funny.
