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

[Udynasty]

he sucks. he is stuck in the 1990s. he is too old and runs his system and only his system. he was Plan Zulu

his plan B was better than his plan A

 

[MasterBlaster]

Just went to look Bill Young up because I couldn't remember what year he was at Miami (2008 btw) and saw he passed away last March...wild. only 3 years after retiring

He was a solid DC.

 

[Scorpioncane]

He could’ve been retained. He wasn’t. And then he was out of work for a year.

When he returned, his best job offer (before Mario came begging) was Maryland.

If he was so good at Auburn, why weren’t the big programs beating down the door to hire him once he became available?

Power 5 is power 5!

 

[mavericksouth]

This hire.....ughhhh yeahhhh. But at least he finally made a decision. Yes Belk would have been better but it is what it is. I support it and hope for the best. What scheme does he run? 3-4, 4-2-5, 4-3, 3-3-5?

 

[MidnightCane]

LMFAO!!!! You have to be joking.

He may have been talking to Steele for weeks but I don’t see why Steele would take the Maryland job if he was still in the running for the Miami gig.

 

[moshated305]

We could hire Andy Reid and Bill Belichick for coordinators and some of you would still complain lol

 

[South Side Chi Cane]

I think we all know exactly what happened even if most don't want to admit it.

Mario knows he needed absolute elite coordinators to mask his game day coaching deficiencies. He went after the best of the best struck out time after time and now he has to scramble to get anyone he can to fill the positions before practice starts.

What I am on the edge of my seat for is the difference between absolute elite and just elite.

**** that 17 Georgia game... D line ATE

 

[Ohio_Cane]

[WeBallinBoyz]

Love that but also makes me sad. Greene was a monster of player but an even better dude and would've been a phenomenal guy for Steele to have been able to try to bring here with him if they were on good terms- lol. RIP.

Yawn. Not worth a two month wait.

I’m cool with Steele if this is the move. He’s got experience at the highest levels of college football and has had recent success. This isn’t a dude who was good ten years ago and is washed up now.

I’ve always been more concerned about the OC hire anyway. Give any decent DC talent on defense and he can field a good unit. Offense is another story.

 

[A1cane]

The lsu game shows u all u need to know a coach he see I need to adjust my play calls and formations to give us the best chance. Very intense coach who is willing to adjust to win = W

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

I’m just glad our HC was decisive and cut throat

Lol. Really? I would argue a good Defense is more difficult to find than a good Offense these days.

 

[lindend]

Got a feeling this was something that went from 0-100 in the last 2-3 days. Definitely after the Maryland news came up for Steele

Methinks Steele didn't like what he saw at Maryland and based on what Football scoop says, he initiated contact. Interesting.

 

[Biscayne Buckets 8]

This whole offseason has been former Bama guys stealing from each other. Saban takes T Rob from Mario. Kirby takes McClendon. Mario takes Steele from Locksley. Mario takes Smith from Lane. Unreal.

 

[Canes2082]

Yawn. Not worth a two month wait.

He may not have been the first or second choice but I’m pretty happy with Salave’a coaching the Dline and Steele running the defense.

Those are two guys who run an aggressive smash mouth downhill defense
