re: Alabama fans, how accurate is this post by Tuscaloosa regarding Kevin Steele?

So we lost a great coach/mediocre recruiter for a great recruiter/mediocre coach?

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.
