Confirmed The expectation is that Kevin Steele will be hired as Miami’s defensive coordinator, per sources

[nystateofmind]

Alright, this makes me kind of like him.

That’s a ballsy move.

 

[Memnon]

...

Maryland got TRob’d lol

 

[Bunker Mentality]

Will he also be the LBs coach?

 

[Rellyrell]

Defense at auburn was top 30 every year except his last season there

Exactly, & we know what happened. It was a complete chit show.

 

[252cane]

Welp so much for getting big time coordinators with that big budget…. What a ******* joke. Manny is a better DC than this bum

Stick to baseball or some shît

 

[jhtheking]

Wow. Cis is questioning Steele? I’m shocked actually. I thought this place would be jumping with joy. Monster hire imo. Elite defenses at big time stops. Need some ace recruiters on defensive staff but I think Steele retires here

No, why get the guy who was DC of LSU and Auburn and had multiple top 10 defenses when we can get Belk who had 40-80 ranked defenses?

 

[Roe 15th00]

We have been waiting all this time for
Kevin Steele….wow what a let down..

I don't believe for one second that mario would take schumann over steele. Maybe the timing was weird and Steele considered taking another year off but if both were on the table, it's a no brainer

 

[W[]_[]CaneClan]

This is misleading.

He took over for Will Muschamp and his early success came with guys Muschamp either recruited or was in the process of recruiting.

As you saw, once he had to use all of his own guys in 2020, he fell off a cliff and was promptly fired.

Shades of Diaz in that regard.

So he does well with talent? You don’t think that means he’ll be good with Mario’s recruiting? Not like we need him to do heavy lifting terms of recruiting.

 

[DiegoCane]

So you’re seriously are going to try and make the argument that Anthony Campinale and Doug Belk are better DCs than Kevin ******* Steele? You’re going with that on record?

Have those 2 been demoted/fired from Bama and Clemson?

 

[stormsurge]

so who we getting to coach cb/db?

lce mentioned that he liked gerald alexander with the dolphins. He might be available after today's nuke attack.

What a great plan B for Mario. Makes me less concerned with the OC of these are his plan B guys haha.


Mandy’s plan B was high school coaches

You think taking Steele over Schuman is a no brainer?

 

[BS85]

Not sure if posted but footballscoop.com is saying Mario has been working on this for weeks. Not sure of i believe it but still interesting. I think @JayCane20, @Da Jumbo Mutombo or @SouthParkCane said they were legit before but can't remember who.

 

[252cane]

I don’t think he was Plan B either. Plan B could have been had a month ago. Seems like Schumann was in play. Then seemed like Belk was in play. Steele was going to Maryland and it feels like a late scramble. If Steele was one of the 10 interviewed early on he probably got tired of waiting and decided to move on our at least put the pressure to decide but no way in **** do I believe he was on the top of the list.

I used to think highly of Steele. I havent paid attention to him the last few so I don’t know what he’s up to anymore.

Nobody knows who was in play and who was offered

 

[bdcane4eva]

huge upgrade over Manny and ya'll *****in....I just can't anymore...

 

[OldhamA]

Yes, Flores just got fired as an NFL head coach in Miami and was gunning for the New York Giants head coaching gig—but he’ll gladly stay in Miami to coach up the local college program’s defense.

Brilliant career trajectory call.

I think he's set fire to his NFL career at this point.
