Would be a great hire for Auburn but would have been the worst possible hire for Ed Orgeron and LSU

Comparing a guy's head coaching tenure to his ability to solely focus on running an offensive or defensive unit is a shallow way of thinking.


I agree but does anyone really know how engaged he was in game planning and in game adjustments on defense during his Vandy career? It was obviously his scheme installed.

I can see the idea behind the hire and on paper it looks good - at least he has a lot of talent at his disposal next year.

Statistically speaking, Vandy had the 2nd worst defense in college football last year (allowed 7.1 yards per play).

And one of the talented rosters. Not saying he’s going to terrorize the SEC, but it takes players to make plays. Auburn will certainly have better players than Vandy.

Thanks for the answer this board was very excited about an awful dc last year so if Mason is the guy, that’d be good for Auburn

Plenty on this board not excited.

Justify it how you want.

2014 Stanford defense can only take you so far.

Wait what? Why in the world aren't they keeping Steele? This is a huge downgrade.

But does that excuse him for having some of the worst defenses in college football last 2 years tho?

Obviously the talent is a major issue, but they have been a dumpster fire.

Can't wait until he puts a female LB on the field so the SEC can run over them.

Major talent gap, and this past year Vandy was one of the teams hit hardest by covid opt outs. He was playing with backups in many positions.

Yeah it’s not like we were really relevant this year


Also, I guess I’ve been living under a rock, but why isn’t auburn retaining Steele?
