Just wondering if he was moving after the lack of LB development this year?

Bama fans have talked about him as a replacement for Smart if he were to take the LSU position.

Doesn't make it a great hire tho

Only way we salvage this hire is if Brick leaves and we get Coach O. At least we have good recruiting then.

Saban demoted him one time, guarantee he wouldn't be the DC if Kirby left.

You do know he was demoted in 08, right?

I never said he would get hired. I've just seen chatter. Idiot fans gonna idiot fan.

Schematically it's not like we ran anything complex anyways. We just got a legitimately huge upgrade in the recruiting department. Obviously a downgrade in the coaching department from a coordinator position. And I'll sandwich that in saying he's probably a better LB coach than Chavis too.

He's a very good LB coach. He's an even better recruiter. But he's an average coordinator. He was essentially demoted after 2007, in favor of Smart. It's one of the reasons he left for Clemson after 2008.

Posted this in our recruiting thread:

According to Adonis Thomas' HC, Kirby Smart told Thomas there was a possibility that Kevin Steele could leave after the season a long while back. 



Kinda gives the impression that he wasn't gonna be at Bama regardless after 2014.
