We now know who Nick Saban’s next defensive coordinator will be, and the name is a familiar one.
Kevin Steele has accepted the job as @AlabamaFTBL’s defensive coordinator, sources tell ESPN. This will be Steele’s third different stint under Nick Saban at Bama. Steele, a 39-year coaching veteran, was @CanesFootball’s DC last season. He’s coached at four different SEC schools.

The nearly 65 year old Steele has been around the block a bit including a couple of stints at Alabama, first as the defensive coordinator in 2007, an admin role in 2013 and then a year coaching linebackers in 2014.
