Kevin Steele

Steele was about only DC that limited the 2019 LSU team. He put together 4 straight top 10 advanced stat defenses at Auburn.

His defense isn’t simplistic. It requires a good amount on players. I think he has simplified it since his firing from Clemson. A former player of his at Clemson talked about it being a challenge in college, but made his transition to NFL easy.

He is a good coach.

It’s hard to be a great defense without talent, Steele should stay for now. Steele is far from perfect but it’s gonna be hard to find someone better who will take the job as of now.
 
Just waiting for the day we can cover the RB out of the backfield and not make every below avg QB look like Peyton manning.

Why do we always have most ineffective, low IQ zone defense year after year?

I think Steele is fine for now. Expect improvements next year as players get more comfortable with the scheme.

The one thing is the complete inability to cover the slants over the middle and anyone coming out of the backfield. Any RB that leaks out or whenever a QB runs its free yards. Makes no sense.

Combination of slow LB’s and a low IQ back 7. When we run zone our LB’s sit in their zone instead of actually reading/picking up routes crossing their zone.

I’m not a fan of Steele but would like to give him the opportunity to bring his own guys in as position coaches. There’s a big disconnect with front 4 play and back 4 play. LBers I won’t judge cuz we have no one there worth a **** besides Wes

Finished with the 37th ranked defense allowing 365 Yards per game against D1 teams, not bad considering how terrible the offense has been

Not really a fan of Steeles defense it’s too conservative.. i don’t know if it’s just bc it’s year 1 but I want to see more aggressive play-calling between the linebackers, nickel corner, and box safety positions.
 
There will be some really good DCs looking for jobs in a few weeks.

Pete Goulding (Alabama) and Jeff Collins are 2 experienced, productive DCs, who also hold their own recruiting. Collins, who was recently let go at GT, actually recruited really well but wasn't given enough time to turn around that program. He signed Jahmyr Gibbs at GT, holding off P5s like Bama, Mich, UF, and aTm.

We have an opportunity to upgrade this offseason
