There can be a connection between low cortisol and low TSH. There are several types of adrenal insufficiency :

Damage to the pituitary and/or the hypothlamus could lead to adrenal insufficiency (low cortisol) and central hypothyroidism (low TSH, low Free T4, low Free T3).

There are various causes for low TSH listed in this post from another forum - the pituitary, the hypothalamus, and cortisol get several mentions :
