Kevin Steele not returning to Auburn

[SmileyVol_c/o_10]

Why would he come here to work for a lame duck?

Cuz he could slide in and be HC, obviously.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Steele may have knifed Gus in the back thinking he'd move up or so say some on the Plains.

Not that TN has a problem with hiring someone who stabs a HC in the back......

 

[Alto1]

Why would anyone come here to work for a lame duck?

FYP.........

 

[Alto1]

Cuz he could slide in and be HC, obviously.

Well he was 9-36, 1-31 in the Big 12 as a head coach.
That, would be the Tennessee way.........

 

[tnvols72]

Tennessee needs to hire him badly.

Tn needs to fire Pruitt

 

[sonofUT62]

No thanks.
The best thing to happen to Clemson was when he left.
Don’t want a DC that had 70 hung on him.

Pretty sure Boyd threw six interceptions in that game and WV scored 20+ non offensive points. Dude is a great DC and we would be super lucky for him to come home.

This^. BADLY!!

 

[SmileyVol_c/o_10]

I’m not advocating that he actually be the HC, but throwing out a reason as to why he would come here.

 

[sonofUT62]

Don't overpay for a DC that old. Rather have Muschamp who does not need the money. Still cannot believe the Auburn alumni essentially fired Gus to try to promote Steele. Amazing.

Have you actually watched the Defensive product that SC has put on the field the last two years??

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Well he was 9-36, 1-31 in the Big 12 as a head coach.

Yup, the SEC is an offensive league now so of course Tennessee will hire another DC as HC

I understood what you were saying.
Pruitt would constantly be looking over his back and it would end up in more of a cluster f*** than we are correctly in.
Plus, it would be like Fulmer to do something like that.........

 

[Alto1]

SMH, you are probably correct.
We need an exciting, innovative, offensive minded head coach. At least when you score a lot of points, it’s exciting.
A boring coached team would work if it won consistently.
Pruitt, is boring and loses on top of that. A terrible combination.......

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

He's forgotten more about football than Pruitt knows. Not sure they could coexist

His head coaching record says otherwise

 

[thistime]

But he is a VFL and he will get Al Wilson and BLAH BLAH BLAH.......move on.

 

[volfan_28]

Let’s snatch him up as DC

Coming to Tennessee to be Hugh Freeze’s DC. Malzahn to be OC. Announcement tonight.

Forgot how to compete against Northwestern. Hell Butch gotim there.

 

[Sarms58]

Wouldn't be surprised if Florida hires Steele ...

i hope not...I like Florida’s D Coordinator...he just needs more time...

Note: Florida fans feel the same way about our head coach

A bit of an unusual situation with the players knowing the entire staff is leaving and having some key players out. It's not like getting hosed by UK mid season

The conversation was about him as a DC.

Baylor can't afford to pull in stud coaches like Pruitt

As a DC I would easily take Pruitt

 

[MurphyVol]

As a DC I would easily take Pruitt

And I'd gladly take Steele over Ansley but I'm guessing Kevin's smart enough to avoid hitching up to Pruitt's wagon

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Good point, only 4 spots above Tennessee

And they had a better offense than we did, which means that our defense was on the field more than theirs.

 

[landscapingvol]

There is 14 teams so we scored more than Vanderbilt and south Carolina. What you mean we can't use that as excuse and what you need to look at is time of possession.

Meaning it wasn’t an excuse last season

No. It’s like getting hosed by a middling Big10 team...POST season. Scoreboard.

 

[MurphyVol]

Yeah, I'm sure teams will evaluate Steel as a potential DC based on his performance in a meaningless bowl against the #14
team as an interim HC with key players out.
