Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele agreed to a new three-year deal that began on Jan. 1 and will make more than $2 million this season, according to a report from USA Today Sports:

Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele joins LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda and Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables at that level, according to a new version of Steele’s contract the school provided to USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday in response to an open-records request.

Steele’s agreement — a three-year deal that began Jan. 1 — calls for him to receive $1.8 million in basic annual compensation this year, plus a $250,000 retention payment if he is employed by Auburn at the conclusion of the 2018 regular season. The retention amount would be paid on a pro-rata basis if he is fired without cause before the end of the regular season, which includes the Southeastern Conference championship game in the now-unlikely event that the Tigers (2-3 in SEC play) participate in it.

Steele joined Auburn's staff in 2016 after spending one year as the defensive coordinator and linebacker coach at LSU.

I have less of an issue with this than I do Gus’ contract. Coach Steele has made a very positive impact. Gus has gone backwards.
