Top 10 defensive coordinators: Leader of Boom (4. Teryl Austin, Detroit Lions: It is uncommon for a novice play caller to transform an underachieving defense into a juggernaut in his first season, but that is precisely what happened when Austin took over the Lions' defense in 2014. The first-time coordinator oversaw a D that finished second in the NFL in total defense and held the opposition to fewer than 100 rushing yards in 14 games. Utilizing a 4-3 scheme with a variety of line stunts and second-level pressures, Austin exposed opponents' vulnerabilities while masking some of the Lions' deficiencies in the secondary. While the loss of Ndamukong Suh threatens to impact Detroit's defensive prowess, the arrival of Haloti Ngata could allow Austin to dig deeper into his playbook to incorporate the hybrid 3-4 looks that routinely befuddle quarterbacks around the league. Given Austin's experience and exposure to multiple schemes during his time as a highly regarded secondary coach (Austin learned hybrid 3-4 schemes under Ray Rhodes in Seattle and Dean Peas in Baltimore), as well as his superb communication skills and teaching ability, it is not surprising he is already regarded as a top head-coaching candidate heading into the season.): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000498479/article/wade-phillips-vic-fangio-among-top-10-defensive-coordinators
