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

[305to954]

Steele is excellent with DLmen...This bodes well with Moss....Kelly and possibly the tipping point from Shemar.....

This is a excellent hire. Multiple attacking and a proven Guy to run it

My sources told me on Saturday that Mario was in talks with Steele.

This man aint never been wrong in his life.

Leonard Taylor in that Derrick Brown role……

 

[JHallCanes]

I expect transfers lol

 

[MPCane17]

If you don’t like this hire, you need medication.

 

[5TimesWePissedOffTheNCAA]

Great hire. Anything is an improvement over Manny Diaz's crap defensive schemes.

 

[sml]

**** of a Plan C. Outstanding coach.

 

[ItsAUThing.com]

Maybe we can get Flores after his lawsuit against the NFL before we have this underwhelming hire

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.

 

[HOLISTIC CANE]

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

 

[MiamisMoperiestMopes]

So if not a HR, how about a bases clearing double?

Track record of success and unless he doesn’t like this environment isn’t likely to be looking for to upgrade right away to a pretty new thing that comes calling (unless head corch)

Big time hire, always liked his defenses

 

[407cane]

Kevin Steele Defense vs #1 ranked UGA in 2017:

They held UGA to just 230 total yards, 184 passing & just 46 yards rushing.

they also beat bama right after that.

absolute steal of a DC with the names we've been hearing on here. Had no idea this dude could have been in play. Love that mario runs a tight ship

 

[Ver]

I get this doesn't excite people but this a good hire ain't that's whats important?

 

[Canesfan12]

Good hire. Smells like pessimistic bîtčh in here tho

 

[Canes2082]

Kevin Steele Defense vs #1 ranked UGA in 2017:

They held UGA to just 230 total yards, 184 passing & just 46 yards rushing.

Also held LSU to 23 points in Death Valley in 2019…

LSU scored 36 points or more in every game that season except vs Auburn

 

[ZeroBeachCane3]

Anybody know if Mario will let him hire a DBs coach or will Mario himself be looking into that?

 

[Memnon]

So if not a HR, how about a bases clearing double?

It’s an inside the park homerun, which is technically much harder than a regular homerun lol.

 

[jhtheking]

He was not fired at Auburn. He fielded elite defenses and some fans and boosters were clamoring for him to get hired as HC instead of Harsin.

No ur wrong. @nystateofmind knows more than Mario Cristobal, a guy who lives and breathes college football.

 

[rsa coral gables]

I'm kinda lukewarm to Steele but I think after years of the failed Diaz regime a guy like Steele will bring desperately needed discipline, fundamentals, and toughness to that side of the ball which are all sorely needed. Not sure if he can croot but right now the defense needs a strong teacher. For OC I hope Mario goes the younger, more innovative route but I think we gotta expect the unexpected at this point.

agreed entirely. say it louder for the mopes

Good hire. Smells like pessimistic bîtčh in here tho

So the usual
