University of Miami defensive coordinator Kevin Steele accepted Alabama’s offer to become defensive coordinator, ESPN reported Sunday evening.

Steele, 64, is a veteran SEC defensive coordinator who will join Saban’s staff in Tuscaloosa for the third time. He was Saban’s first defensive coordinator at Alabama in 2007.

Steele’s first tenure as defensive coordinator for Saban ended after one season when Kirby Smart was promoted to that position in 2008. Steele spent that season coaching inside linebackers before leaving for Clemson. He returned to Alabama in 2013 in an off-field personnel role, then served as linebackers coach in 2014.

“I think Kevin is just really sound, fundamental,” Saban said before the 2020 Iron Bowl. “You win with execution. Their players really do a good job of executing whatever it is they do. They make really good adjustments to take away what you’re trying to do. And the players play hard, and they play with a lot of toughness. I think those are all signs of Kevin’s leadership. But it’s always a challenge to play against him, that’s for sure.

In addition to Golding, who coached inside linebackers, Alabama also lost its safeties coach, Charles Kelly, to Colorado this offseason. Most of Steele’s coaching experience has involved linebackers. Alabama reportedly hired former Southern Miss defensive coordinator Austin Armstrong last month, but has not yet announced his position responsibility on its defensive staff. Armstrong’s background also involves linebackers.
