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

[423Hurricane]

Looks like Mario’s Rolodex is pretty solid.

 

[bambam]

You can tell who’s a miserable human being in real life based off posting habits on here lol

Some of you dudes need to relax. It’s not that serious

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Truth

 

[canesnations305]

This is the name everyone wanted when CMR hired Manny! We got some toxic *** fans bro!

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Dude make *** jokes and quit trolling , dude is super well respected and Auburn people loved his defenses. It’s obvious what you’ve been doing you miserable ****.

“It’s obvious what you’ve been doing you miserable ****.”

Thank you @Cribby

Need to hit the portal or see some massive jumps with the guys currently on the roster. Need to find a 320lb monster for the middle to free up our LB to run free.

That shouldn't be a problem as I'm sure there's a bunch of 320 monster war daddies ready to enter the portal.

 

[Roe 15th00]

That's what I thought lol

What you thought huh?? I don’t think Steele was the first choice…since you know was he?

 

[The Sphinx]

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

 

[Mikesmith29150]

I mean...Duke’s HC IS Mike Elko but I see your point..

I don't know much about Elko, but Duke is Duke.

 

[Atom Atlas]

We got our guy???

 

[clarkyboy_21]

LOL. Young, up and coming names get floated and it's "that's all we get with this budget?"

Now, we literally hire a f'ing savage that's spent his career at the highest levels of CFB, made $2.5M/year @ AUB, the top of the SEC food chain (Bama, Auburn, LSU, etc), Clemson, and did so well at Auburn, who basically plays half their schedule against teams they have a recruiting disadvantage at, that they wanted to push out the coach and make him HC.

But right, you want the Houston guy with no P5 experience for your money lol.

Steele has been interim HC at two SEC programs because he was that respected.

He also coached LB's in the NFL for three years.

This is the blue chip type coordinator we've all been pining for. This guy has been there and done that. He knows more about what it takes to beat the Bama's and TAMU's of the world than most coaches can even comprehend.

Come on, Mopes! This is NOT your time!!!!

This shįt right fvckin here. Say it louder for the remedials in the back. 4 top 10 defenses in the past 6 seasons along with years of top notch experience facing and coaching the best of the best and Mfs saying this is mid???? Right…

 

[423Hurricane]

Steele ain’t sloppy seconds.

 

[West Coast Cane]

Does he send his Safeties on delayed blitzes 25 yards from LOS?

No one uses that blitzing strategy other than Manure.

He is a significant upgrade based on that and his ability to coach linebackers. If he was good enough to coach linebackers for Saban he is good enough to coach linebackers for us in our present state.

 

[BishopEli]

Some weird negative takes in here, this dude has been putting up good defenses in the best conference and it’s not like that was 20 years ago, it was 2. As for his age he’s 63 not 83… ******* Saban is 70, were we expecting any dc we get to be here more than 7 years? **** I thought it’d be belk and I would have assumed he’d be gone in 3-4 years max if he was any good. Let’s get back to bbq talk at least this pussified negative **** was limited there

 

[CoachKevinSteel]

Thank you there El of Liberty City. Would chat more, just cleaning out my office in the Hecht. Anyone know who this ring-binder might belong to - "Striker Fire - The Art of the Hybrid Assassin in Modern Football." "Property of EB"

 

[FrancisSawyer]

It’s DeRuyter ish, but Mario seemingly likes to land an experienced head on the Defensive side.

Ill take Steele over Roto Rooter any day.

 

[Big Q Cane]

Most of these guys complaining about plan c and **** were their wive’s or girl’s plan z. They “interviewed” a bunch before settling on you.

 

[miamian01]

Ill take Steele over Roto Rooter any day.

I meant from an experience standpoint.

 

[MiamiVice7]

Yawn. Not worth a two month wait.

Lmao what does this even mean? Not worth what to whom?

Don’t answer. It’s rhetorical.

 

[423Hurricane]

Don’t give a fck about how many jobs he’s had.
The dude has been in the $ec. Intense asf. I think hes the coach Miami has needed for awhile.
Now first course of action,
BRING US SHEMAR AND WE ARE FCKIN

“Can’t sleep on the plane!!!!!”
