I think owners/management have one of two schools of thought: 1. go with an established former coach or 2. roll the dice on someone new. It seems like there are those franchises that will only hire a guy who's done it before, and then there are others like the Falcons, that get a little bit sick and tired of the retread game. Mike Smith wasn't a retread HC. I know. That's my point, that perhaps it's an organizational philosophy .

One of the teams that interviewed Teryl Austin said to Peter King that coming into the interview they thought he was one year away from being a HC, but left the interview extremely impressed with his state at readiness to be a head coach. Now the Bears want to interview him.

Now the Bears want to interview him. One of the rare instances that the Lions actually have found a good coordinator, and one year in and NFL teams are looking to poach him! On one had it is a great compliment, and you want the best for Austin, but selfishly I want to see him stay at least for a few years.

went to the pistons game last night for a work event. spent the entire 2nd half in the palace grill. Dom Raiola walks in with about 5 mins to go in the game. One of my coworkers makes eye contact, nods and says "hey man, big fan of the lions, nice season".
Dom goes all Dom and loses his shit thinking someone in our group was talking shit about him. "If you want to meet outside I'm ready. you guys are talking shit"
thats two public interactions with him in 8 years.. yep still a POS ahole

I gave Dom a head nod in downtown the ville. He didn't threaten to beat me up. Maybe it was because we were all with our kids.

so if Austin is a pretty good candidate for any of these jobs, shouldn't the Lions start looking at a new def coor to replace him?

I think that his replacement is already on the staff if he were to leave. Bill Sheridan was the DC in Tampa for 2 years before Lovie got hired. In his first year they went from the worst run defense in the NFL to the best run defense in the NFL.
Also, Austin withdrew his name from consideration in Denver. Sounds like he knew he was a token candidate and told them to pound sand.
