Steele's Defenses: Where did they rank before him?

Everyone keeps posting about where his Baylor and Clemson defenses ranked, but without context this is just a useless stat. Can someone post the defensive rank of Baylor and Clemson in the 4 years prior to him taking over and then while he was there?

A Les Miles coached offense put 41 on him in 07.
Same Alabama team that went to the SEC champ game in 08 undefeated prior to to it after a new DC hire...

Yes it does he is a failure as a DC. We went from a top tier DC to a complete joke. I only wish I were being sarcastic.

Clemsons defense was ranked 18th in 2008 before he went there.
Once he was hired it dropped to 20th (2009), 19th (2010), 71st (2011), 64th (2012)

So he basically just maintained--outside of the 2012 season. Interesting. Thanks for answering.

We have heard several disturbing things about Steele's possible psychological breakdown during the Orange Bowl game. Multiple sources have said that he was calling plays from his days with the Panthers, which aren't in the Clemson playbook, and as such the players were totally confused. It reportedly happened during the Auburn game as well. I do not know if that is true, and frankly think it a bit farfetched, but I do know that Steele has a reputation for being a nervous wreck on gamedays. I'm sure most of you recall that he passed out on the sidelines during a game, and I have heard many times that he requires an IV for fluids because he's such a wreck and won't eat at all on gameday. Hopefully he can get these things corrected for his own health.

Maintained his 1st 2 years (playing with other coached/recruited players I would assume)
Last 2 years were a complete downfall (playing with players he coached/recruited I would assume)

Slow decline.

Took that from one of the Clemson site so I don't know how true the old plays thing is . But I did see him pass out one game with my own eyes so that part is 100 percent true
