Kevin Steele. One of the worst coaches in NCAA History...

[RDU VOL#14]

Does this remind anyone of the time we briefly hired Kippy Brown in 2009?

Possibly. We should’ve made Kippy the interim for a year after Kiffin left.

Statistically speaking: Auburn's D takes step back

Interesting. One of the worst posters in history criticizing a football coach because he was hired by Tennessee.

 

[SPRINGHILLVOL]

As Butch Jones is to Alabama so is Steele to Tennessee. He will be in the same position of importance as Butch was at Alabama !

[Lawrence Wright]

As far as position coaches go, you guys could have done MUCH worse.

 

[GTBATV]

While I agree and wish Pruitt would be canned, if we are going to keep Pruitt, which it looks like we will, then this is not a bad hire. Like another poster here said our defensive coaching leaves a lot to be desired.

Oh, I agree. Steele is definitely an improvement over our current staff. And under normal circumstances, I would say a good hire. I just have mixed feelings on how I think the program direction should be.

 

[De La Cloobs]

If Pruitt or Steele is our HC this time next year, I won't be happy.

GTFO

 

[tn4elvis]

Dick LaBeau was terrible also as a head coach, but one of the sharpest defensive minds of all time... Head coaching record isn't an indication of the ability to coach an offense or defense...

I’ve said this a million times.Some guys are just not cut out to handle the pressure and day to day grind of being a head coach. Muschamp is a good example.He will be a great dc where ever he decides to go. I think lots of good quality coaches are just better coaching one side of the ball or as a position coach.

Educate me. What has he done in his career to impress you?

Been coaching in a power 5 school for almost 40 years isn’t to shabby.

If Pruitt or Steele is our HC this time next year, I won't be happy.

Even if we go 15-0 and win a NC? (Not a prediction but maybe a predictor) Asking for the moderator.

 

[Skippy95]

Steele could be a savvy move. I think if I’m Chadwell or Napier, even freeze, I’m thinking Steele as my DC or somehow retaining Steele and Ansley to run my defense is a damn good move.

 

[keenobserver]

I forgot Kevin Greene put him in a Latrell Sprewell sleeper chokehold.

 

[JRich]

I don't mind Steele as a LB's coach. Got to be an upgrade. Actually, might be an upgrade from Ansley as a DC based on our defense's performance this season.

 

[sanefan]

So was Dooley, Butch Jones, and Pruitt

These were hired at Tennessee as head coach in charge of everything. None were hired by the other coaches as head coach. Steele is being hired as a position coach. Your use as example is ludicrous.

He'll fit right in here

 

[dustyrhodes]

Fulmer is a idiot.

It never fails to amuse me that when someone makes a comment about the intelligence of another individual......they blunder and show their own lack of intelligence. “A” or “An” is 2nd grade level. It is worse than there, they’re, their. At least that can be blamed on spellcheck.

 

[RockyTop140]

...and wasn’t that Pruitts strength coming in? It’s a gaum. Anyway u look at it. Next excuse will be talent...”we just need players”. Welp they all leaving cause it’s a gaum.

That’s his strength. Yes. But he’s head coach now, he can’t spend all his time with the defense. Like I said, I think he should be gone. But since we’re keeping him, Steele is a good pick-up.

 

[photovol]

UT has censored vol fans, they have no input on Tennessee football
Like it or leave it

 

[MBVFL1]

Tell me about all his accolades and accomplishments as a coach......cant wait

2017 DC of the year

 

[butchna]

As far as position coaches go, you guys could have done MUCH worse.

And we have...and RECENTLY!

 

[Ten_Titans]

Kevin Steele is the best DC in the SEC. Dumb post is dumb.

 

[T2P_Priceless]

He possibly won’t even have to coach a snap and he will collect a handsome buyout. That would be a new one, even for us. We have become “Buyout U”.

Handsome buyout? He’s getting $2.5M from Auburn. UTs $450K is nothing

 

[Border Vol]

He’s terrible, but doesn’t look like he’s going to be DC.

Really suckass hire by Tennessee but at least he'll be only around for one season
