re: Kevin Steele hire revisted

Let's face it...Miles wanted O and Corey to stay and only so many guys are DC quality, that would also keep all assistants and coach LBs. If you think about it, the hire makes perfect sense in that respect.

You can argue on the move otherwise, but most big name DCs would want their guys. Plus Steele could recruit and knows the SEC and Bama.

This is the correct answer and a very good post. And, it was discussed a the time. One of the major fears was that Miles would just hire a LB coach. That's pretty much what he did.

Having said that, the results have been pretty good, and it's reasonable to think that the best days of this defense are in front of it. We'll know before the end of the year if this was a good move. It's just too soon to say, IMO.
