Steele is no Brady HokeDon’t get me wrong Steele is a good defensive coach, but what kind of backwards thinking is it to hire a guy supposedly by Pruitt and then turn around and make him the interim? It looks shady as hell to any player and I think this is the cause for some(not all) of the transfers. If I played I would feel betrayed by the program for this and would much rather have seen one of the coaches who I’ve been dealing with be put in place to hold over the program at a time like this. Again my 2 cents which aren’t worth a damn but I just don’t see how Steele could hold this position going into 2021 and expect the players to have any respect for him going forward.
I just wanna mention something. Saw this on CBSSports, and it's kinda changed my mind a little bit on CKS.
"Why not? Right now, Steele looks a lot like Pruitt as a veteran SEC defensive coordinator. Plus, someone, somewhere at Tennessee may wake up one day and realize Steele was 9-36 at Baylor, his only head coaching job to date. That person would fail to realize that was 18 years ago, and since then, Steele has worked for Bobby Bowden, Nick Saban, Dabo Swinney, Les Miles and Gus Malzahn."
I'm sure I'm gonna get lambasted for this, but maybe just maybe folks are kinda looking a bit too far in the past and ain't giving dude a fair shake?? I'll hang up and listen.
Tennessee head football coach Jeremy Pruitt officially announced the hiring of Kevin Steele as a defensive assistant on Tuesday afternoon.Pruitt wasnt responsible for the hire
