Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise gives his thoughts on Teryl Austin's future as Steelers defensive coordinator.

Should the long-time assistant be coaching for his job in 2025 after struggles against elite teams late last season and Mike Tomlin's "historic" label for this year's unit? Can he successfully put new pieces like Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay Jr. and Derrick Harmon together with established ones like Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt and Joey Porter Jr.? And what level of performance should he have to hit in order to earn an extension of his current deal that expires at the end of the season?

Paul tackles those topics, as well as comments Wednesday from names including Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf.
