Alabama has turned to a former Auburn defensive coordinator to run its defense. According to ESPN, Kevin Steele will be Alabama's next defensive coordinator. Steele ran Miami's defense in 2022 after he served as Auburn's defensive coordinator from 2016-2020. Steele's reported hire comes two days after Alabama hired Tommy Rees to be the offensive coordinator. Rees comes to Alabama from Notre Dame after he was the Fighting Irish's offensive coordinator for the past three seasons. This will be Steele's third stint at Alabama.
