Kevin Steele Retiring

I think Strong has been an analyst for awhile due to some health concerns in his family. He may not be able to handle the rigors of an on the field coordinator.
 
I knew the defense would likely take a step back next year but will definitely be a bigger step back now. Even a proven DC will take some time for everyone to gel. Let’s hope the offense improves and picks up the slack
 
So we all remember Kiffin “trolling” us with his tweet back in September about “T-Rob” being the “real DC”? Was it really just a “troll” or do you think he picked up or heard something?

Hear me out on this. Steele when hired last year at age 65, we all knew it was about “getting his time in” in the Teachers Retirement System of Alabama. All he needed was a year or two. CNS knew that as well. Do you think the plan all along was for Steele to be the short term fix with T-Rob being an “unnamed”’ co-dc and “dc in waiting”?

This I know. With Roberts most likely leaving Auburn for Florida, there is no way they promote Charles Kelly to DC and let him call things. They are coming after T-Rob. Almost as important, T-Rob is now the primary recruiter for Ryan Williams out of Saraland. If they pull in T-Rob, it could also mean losing him to Auburn as he isn’t signing until February.

I’m probably completely wrong on the Kiffin thing. But we all know Saban is playing chess while everyone is setting up the checker board. What kind of got me thinking this way was Chase Goodbread stating “this was not unexpected”.

I'd look for Saban to give him the DC job soon..............probably already has, just hasnt announced it yet. I think T Rob had his hands on the defense this year

Youre not wrong on the kiffin thing. Robinson and steele have been splitting the duties at least somewhat all season. And you're also right about auburn.

Steeles retirement leaking the same day the news about AUs DC looking at UF is not a coincidence.

TRob should have the job and he's probably the best man for it. Strong could take a co DC role and take over as a position coach anywhere on defense. Both would be good moves.

TRob will.be a head coach in a year or two and its a bonus to keep him off AUs staff.

I think it’s either him or him trying to go at someone like Leonhard again. But I don’t think it’s a Hollywood type hire that gets everyone excited.
