Steele may not happen. Not good if true.

[MaTaLa]

Fulmer had to do a favor for a buddy on his way out the door.

I know nothing but this rings true and the exact reason CJH wants his own man.
He's got a big job in front of him. Having the best foundation he can get, for his type of football, is paramount, it seems.

 

[yabbadabbado]

Bring in all the UCF folks. Who cares now?

Honestly, I had no idea what city UCF campus was until this week. We are becoming so irrelevant!

 

[beachvol23]

Steele tried to pull a coup on Malzahn. Did he learn that from Fulmer? Why would you keep him at this point? Sure he could be serviceable as a DC short term, but how long would he last? ....And if Heupel is dumb enough to bring Randy Shannon, WE ARE SCREWED!

 

[DFWVolFan]

I mean Steele is signed for 2 yrs why not use his expertise somewhere. He can recruit, knows the SEC and if you don't want him as DC make him the LB coach. I would much rather pay him 900k to do something and for that price you are getting a hell of a value for him to do something.

 

[igotworms]

The problem with this offense is you put major pressure on the defense because they are on the field to much. If it’s not Steele he better get someone with SEC defensive experience or it’s going to be a long year.

Pruitt is available and is a DC in SEC.....

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

SEC caliber coaches don’t like to join ranks with conference USA guys

Randy Shannon was UCF’s DC.He has experience and Miami,Florida and a better resume’ than Kevin Steele

Yep. And if the rumblings on the Plains are true, I can understand him not wanting the guy who helped oust his former HC as his DC.

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

My gosh y’all are a tough crowd lol

 

[orchidvol]

He is a well-respected, solid SEC defensive coordinator. Heupel should consider keeping him as DC or at least in some capacity.

 

[ShoalCreekVol]

Steele is a nice, adequate DC. Losing him is nothing to lose sleep over.

There are many others who would work out just as well.

 

[GreyWolf1129]

and Steele is experienced playing defense along side this offensive pace. Playing a fast offense is a neat trick , until you go three and out for two quarters and your defense absorbs 12 minutes of beatings and give up points on every drive. Then your offense is one dimensional and your defense is exhausted. There are not alot of SEC teams you are just going to outscore ...it comes back to defense.

You just described the 2020 Vols.

 

[Vol737]

I'll still be happy if Barry Odom becomes DC.

I’d be shocked if he left Arkansas for us.

Edit: But I’d take him yesterday.

 

[Mose Phillip's Watch]

Steele came as a favor to coach Fulmer. No Fulmer no Steele now

 

[Vol737]

Fulmer had to do a favor for a buddy on his way out the door.

I don’t think Fulmer had any say so in that hire. They weren’t letting him touch a thing other than the pen to sign his separation papers.

Gimme Odom or Muschump and let’s ride

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Steele had a very low buyout IIRC. I don't know whether or not that was a two-way gate, but it would be reasonable to think it won't cost the full amount to part ways. I'm guessing he's living in a hotel at this point.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Muschamp would never come here unless it was for a highly overpaid HC gig. He is from a generation of Dawgs that hates the Vols.

 

[ProudVOLfan]

I would hate to lose him but if he doesn't mesh with the HC then it's probably for the best

 

[JBVolunteer]

After the coupe that Kevin Steele tried to pull off at Auburn; he’s exactly the kind of snake we need to weed out of this program.

 

[Deebowbear]

Randy Shannon was UCF’s DC.He has experience and Miami,Florida and a better resume’ than Kevin Steele

Don’t like him either

 

[CrossVegas]

I’d be shocked if he left Arkansas for us.

He aint leaving Arkansas for this **** show

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Lets continue to lose but with Heupels guys

 

[chef3531]

Gotta realize Steele gets $2 mil whether he coaches or not.

$450kx2yrs isn't $2mil

 

[JVol76V2]

Lets continue to lose but with Heupels guys

You've repeated this same s*** about 15 times now, We get it, you don't like the hire. How about you log off, curl up in the fetal position and have a good cry? If not that just shut up for a little bit.

Why don't you deal with the fact I've been right about the last 3 hires?
