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

[lindend]

Was he really hired or was it reported by media he was projected to get job?

He had a nameplate, but from all the reports I've seen, he didn't actually sign the contract (yet). Verbal agreement only.

A little surprised Mario wanted to go the DC route but I support it if he does.

Feels like a total panic hire, retread hire day before National signing day, can’t spin it any other way.

Need an NFL-type guy and an old-soul type guy. He can recruit too. He's pulled in some good players in the past. I don't think Cristobal will approach anyone who isn't a high-end recruiter.

Much needed in the LB room

Makes sense. Verbal agreement means nothing. I know very well.

You think taking Steele over Schuman is a no brainer?

What's Schuman resume look like vs Steele's?

Bama doesn’t believe in fairness or integrity, they’d sacrifice newborn babies if it meant them winning...

Their culture has been permeated throughout college football since Saban became the dictator of the NCAA.

Bama has essentially ruined college football at every level.

A lot of the old “unwritten rules” no longer exist because of Saban and Alabama. It’s dog eat dog now.

I always wanted a man of steele on defense. Our DC's were always soft.

I see what you did there.....

Your first post in over 8 years of being on this board? Gonna take a guess your either a Gator or Nole…

Btw read the earlier tweet that Mario had been in contact with Steele way before this

 

[Eric The Midget]

Not the flashy hire some of you nerds were looking for but, this is **** sure a solid hire.

That side of the ball will be well disciplined.

I have been hard on Mario — both before he got hired and during this hiring process — so I have no reason to pump sunshine.

With that said, this is an excellent hire; the proof is in the pudding. So can some of you kindly chill the fvck out?

Feels like plan C. What happened to Belk?

 

[BeastMode]

Give us 2-3 years and then Mario can go grab whoever he wants after reloading the defensive roster with top talent

My biggest concern with Steele is how successful can he be with the lack of talent and the lack of depth on the defensive side of the ball? The OC is getting a Ferrari and Steele is getting a beat up Ford Escort
