Ok, so admittedly still not an insider but I did tell you guys from Day 1 that aside from all the other nonsense and misinformation that was being thrown about Steele was one of Les' top choices.

I posted this before and I'll do so again now, but there was a major dogfight for Steele's services several years ago and Saban got him. According to some former LSU players under Saban who are now in the coaching business Saban has a lot of trust and faith in Steele. A LOT. When he wants to bounce defensive ideas off someone he goes to Steele, not Smart. Saban has been quietly pimping Smart as a HC so he could promote Steele to DC.

I wasn't joking earlier when I posted that everyone would be scratching their heads if we hired Smart and Saban promoted Steele to DC. Les just gut punched Saban.

I'm not excited about the hire, but there is more to this than meets the eye. Les searched for the right hire and after interviewing a lot of people he went back to his gut instinct and hired Steele.

Go fill the defense with 4 and 5 star recruits and we're going to be fine.

Now go and find a quarterback
