Below average coach, was a great recruiter, still very good, but no longer great. You just downgraded from Chavis in coaching and scheming. You basically hired a recruiter to run your defense.
So we lost a great coach/mediocre recruiter for a great recruiter/mediocre coach? Well, this will keep things interesting.

He's a really good recruiter and a really average defensive coordinator.

Pretty much sums it up.
As others have pointed out, Bama's best defenses of the Saban era were 2009-2011.
Those also happen to be the years when Kevin Steele and Lance Thompson were coaching elsewhere. The next two or three years will tell if that was coincidental or not.

First of all, don't agree on the coaching. He had top 30 defenses in 3 of his 4 seasons as a DC. His position coaching at LB appears no more suspect than Chief's when you look at the record against mobil QB's. 2nd, the como hire with Ed OH makes this a serious upgrade when you factor in both are former national recruiters of the year.
