He was Alabama's DC in 2007. Gave up 22 points per game. The worst since Saban has been at Alabama. Kirby Smart is giving up an average of 13 points per game over a span of 7 years. Steele is a decent recruiter though.

Steele is horse shite. LSU could've done so much better. There will be many LSU melts throughout next year's season.

2007 was a lot of worsts for Saban. He was building that season. That isn't a fair assessment of Steele's work.

Steele is, without a doubt, a downgrade. However, comparing Steele's defense is 2007 to smarts entire body of work is ignorant in so many ways it's actually funny.

2007 was Sabans first year or second year at bama right? While I don't think Steele is as good as Smart, I also don't think he is as bad as 22 points per game. I'd imagine if you compared bamas defensive roster in 2007 to the rosters smart had to work with the differences would be drastic. The truth is likely somewhere in the middle.
