I still dont understand how Steele was so crappy here. His defenses at Auburn have been lightyears better. It's not like he went through some huge schematic change here when he was here. Aranda comes in year 1 and switches us to a 3-4 and we are way better than Steele's defense without even recruiting to a 3-4 defense.

Our front 7 was mediocre talent-wise when Steele was here. Auburn had a lot of talent on that end when he arrived. However, it doesn't explain the amount of blown coverage we saw that seemingly isn't as big a problem for him there.

Most people blamed the recruiting of Chavis and Brick Haley for Kevin Steele's underwhelming defense in 2015. I'm not saying Steele was great, he's no Aranda, but Auburn is doing pretty well with him.
quote:We were avg on the D-Line. While not giving up that many yards on the ground (3rd conf) and getting pressure on QB (3rd conf) we gave up a lot of points (10th conf). That points to bad field position- either a bad offense and/or bad special teams. Our offense, in yardage, wasn't THAT bad... so all that points to bad special teams (as poster above stated).

So I'll qualify my statement- DL wasn't good enough to support other deficiencies.
Side Note: on of the reasons our scoring is down under Canada this year is our D has a tendency to give up long drives in the first half. Not the only reason, but it's a heavy contributor.
The icing on the cake was the deficiencies at LB.

It was his first year here. Its funny Canada gets a pass but Steele gets crapped on. What was Steele's Defense ranked? Canada's offense this yr? Canada has a team that rarely turns the ball over and a strong defense giving the O good field position and just flat out shutting teams down in the 2nd halves of games.
Im not crapping on Canada, theres plenty to like, but to say Steele was shitty is unfair. He moved his family to a complete mess, from the AD not backing the head coach and with a horrible LSU QB situation. The QB situation was arguably the worst in the country.
He was trying to instill his complex defense here and knew this wasnt a long-term situation for the HC. Add in the SEC west was as strong as any division in many years and most would agree that he was in a very difficult situation.
Miles wanted this shitty DC to stay and Malzahn certainly saw something and hired him and paid him with many other options.
