As a Stamp fan I am disappointed as well.
Austin had a decent season but I don't see what he did as a coach that was so great. He didn't force Wally to play his 3 worst QB for a half and then go to the guy who hadn't played in about 700 games and had a bad head while having a very good option in Pierce on the bench. Austin didn't break Kevin Glenn's arm forcing Dinwiddie to play and throw the GC away.
Austin could be horrible for the next five years and the Riders wouldn't can him since he won them the GC.
Austin seems like a good guy other than being a former Rider, so hopefully he does well down in Mississippi.
