The barners are seldom worth the praise much less trying to have the stomach for it. BUT.
Kevin Steele, with talent in place, does the best job in the SEC defending HUNH RPO spread teams. We have SEC DCs who can get in front of conventional offenses but lose their mind and defensive principles at the speed of light against hybrid offenses. I can only assume that when the dust settled from almost being the head man Kevin didn't want to play second fiddle any longer. Otherwise, Mason struggles like the rest of the SEC against elite offenses.

Probably a good hire. Vandy was pretty scrappy on defense.

Would be happy with Mason as DC. Good guy and knows the SEC landscape.

Seems like a solid hire to me

Great hire. Too bad we didn’t get him to replace Grantham.

Auburn is so fricking terrible at everything they do

Mason is a good hire but I think Steele is a better DC.
Ya gotta expect some drop off from the normal solid D.

Lmfao candy below average offense was the reason why they won some games, defense always sucked there

I actually like this hire. His defenses at Vanderbilt were always disciplined even if they didn't have talent.
