He has coached under legends Tom Osborne, Bobby Bowden and Nick Saban. He must have something good going on. He was named National Recruiter of the Year under Bowden for helping to bring in the #1 class. He has helped Bama bring in #1 classes as well. And of course, Nebraska went undefeated and won the NC in 2004 before he went to the Pros. So he has been a part of some of the winningest programs around and coached under some of the biggest legends of all time.

Back to the bad news: "During the 1999 season, Steele's Baylor team was involved in what ESPN.com called one of the top 10 worst coaching decisions when he chose a running play rather than a kneel down with his team leading and possessing the ball in the game's final 12 seconds with the opponent (UNLV) out of timeouts. The ensuing Baylor fumble and UNLV return for a touchdown gave the Rebels a shocking win."

Back to the good news - he won't be the head coach and LSU is loaded with talent on D. Who knows?

“I don’t know if I could remember anybody that I would say, all around, is any better than him,” Saban said. “And I’ve been around a lot of good coaches.” - Nick Saban on Kevin Steele

I'm trying to be a pumper for a day

PS - Clemson forced him out as D-coordinator

He sucked balls at Baylor and Clemson.

FSU and Bama recruit themselves. Much like LSU.

You sure about that? Pretty sure Nebraska was no where near the championship in 2004.

And he still can't field a decent defense.

Everywhere he has been a DC he has failed.

So the "bad news" is one play where he wasn't actually carrying the ball himself?

He's a good recruiter. Worst case scenario he leaves the cupboard well stocked. Best case scenario, he gets us some quarterbacks.

Has he had anything notable about a year where he was above a position coach?
