re: Quick note regarding Tennessee HC candidate Kevin Steele

Instead, Auburn’s new defensive coordinator opened the 2016 season in a coaches box high above Pat Dye Field. The 58-year-old Kevin Steele sat up there with several assistants and calmly called his first game with the Tigers — a close and surprisingly defensive 19-13 loss to eventual national champion Clemson. “After 36 years of doing it, I kind of take the approach of just fly the plane, you know?” Steele said the next day. “I’m not sitting up there emotional and screaming and pounding the table and throwing headsets. Those days are long-since gone. “Plus, at my age you get closer to having a heart attack or stroke, and I don’t want to risk that. So I just stay calm. Play the next play.”
