I reckon all those phone calls he was making over the past couple of weeks are already starting to pay off. Yee-haw!

I think it is as good as it gets. Saban is the real DC and Steele will aid in recruiting, but Steele is highly regarded by all that have been with him.

Re: CONFIRMED: Kevin Steele Accepts DC position

Are you 100% on this?
What kind of defense does this guy like, if he is our coach?

Re: CONFIRMED: Kevin Steele Accepts DC position

So what about Kines?

Alakablamo · Jan 4, 2007

Re: CONFIRMED: Kevin Steele Accepts DC position

General question about Saban's DC position... I get the impression that Saban likes to make the defensive calls, and the DC position on his staff is a place where CNS can put a great defensive-minded recruiter who wants to learn how it is all done. Is this how Will Muschamp (sp?) was brought up at LSU?

I only ask because I believe this is Kevin Steele's first stint as DC.

Tide&True said:
The link says he was offered but didn't say he had accepted.

First paragraph...
"Popular Florida State linebackers coach Kevin Steele has accepted an offer to become the new defensive coordinator at Alabama. Steele, who was FSU's executive head coach, said he informed Bobby Bowden of his decision late this morning."

BamaFanOJ · Jan 4, 2007

Re: CONFIRMED: Kevin Steele Accepts DC position

What is his connection to Saban?

He has developed some pretty good linebackers at FSU so I think he could be a good hire.

RTR forever!

Gosh darn it folks, read a few other threads.

Re: CONFIRMED: Kevin Steele Accepts DC position

Good recruiter, good teacher (look at his NFL products)...obvious fit for Saban.

Re: CONFIRMED: Kevin Steele Accepts DC position

My understanding is a plane has been dispatched to retrieve his personage.

Who is going to be responsible for slobber kissing him? :conf3:

Is that lady still in jail? She could do it? He is a UT guy. Been around, OK, NMSU etc

Re: CONFIRMED: Kevin Steele Accepts DC position

I am starting to wonder what kind of wonderful monster CNS is building at my beloved alma mater. RTR!
