Some names to watch before it’s deleted

[The U is back to work]

I posed this in the other thread. Advanced analytics take on Steele. Auburn's defensive ratings according to f+

2016: 9th
2017: 3rd
2018: 8th
2019: 4th
2020: 51st

4/5 years with a top 10 defense. That's just simply elite. You really can't argue the results.

What is F+

Now that we have a DC spend the next 18 hours negative recruiting that POS DJ Durkin

 

[troyskiles]

Call up Shemar and let him know we have a DC now. Late night shenanigans

They better be on a plane with Steele in it headed to Opa Lacka.

This doesn't feel right. I'm shook. I can't mentally comprehend any sort of actual endpoints being reached in this thread.

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day so maybe we'll wake up and still have two coordinator vacancies.

Steele always seemed like one of those stud DCs that never could get out of the SEC. I dig it. It's weird Maryland was his best option before

And you can argue turnover as a difference because that happens to everybody.

I’m just glad we have a DC

 

[CanesNation26]

What is F+

Combo of FEI and S/P+. Pretty well-respected metric in the analytics world.

LOL right. Thanks Shemar.

 

[WhatTheHell]

At least it ain't Clint Hurtt

I think him trying to undermine Malzahn hurt him a bit.

He was waiting on us to get a DC

Kevin Steele is a whatever hire to me. I can’t see him failing here with the talent he will hopefully have access to. But I’m also just not that jazzed up.

It reeks of settling. Mario was out there hitting up a bunch of 10s at a bar and ended up taking home a 6.5. We’ve all done it.

The fact that this wasn’t rumored anywhere that I saw makes me wonder if the OC hire will be someone else that hadn’t been discussed.

 

[Zbrod95]

It’s official. It’s up on 247 now.

Higher floor than Doug Belk and Campanile. He’ll probably ride off into the sunset here but he’s not done coaching like Richt was. Older (63 I think) but was wanting the Auburn HC job and wanted the Tennessee HC job so he’s got juice left. Fire-y personality anyway. Fits what Mario is looking for in toughness and discipline.

My only concern is he is old school and it’s becoming a new school game and it’s easy to lose touch when you take time off.

What? Bro just stop. We all thought plan B was Anthony Campanile. This is better than Belk and Campanile.
