Total shite product on the field

We were 4th in the SEC in scoring defense this year, despite all of our losses. This isn’t 1985 when good defenses hold opponents to 10ppg.

I understand the optics with firing malzahn and hiring Steele., Its not a good look to pay 20M and fire a coach that won 2/3rds of his games only to hire another that went 9-36.

With that being said, our defenses have consistently been solid/good since he took over. We’ve managed our defensive roster well, brought in talent at all positions and for the most part done a good job of developing that talent. Moreover we know players love to play for him like they did Malzahn. I also don’t think it’s fair to judge him on his record 20 years ago. People grow and develop. I would have failed at my current job if I would have had it 20 years ago.

With all of that being said, I think this is a better decision than what it appears on the surface. Not saying he would be my first pick, but I don’t think it’s a disaster like everyone is making it out to be.

PS - all of this stop Steele bullshite is a fricking embarrassment to auburn that could end up doing more harm than any coach. Email the AU leadership all you want but let’s not show our arse to the world on social media.
