The Alabama Crimson Tide hired Miami’s defensive coordinator, Kevin Steele, for the same role under Nick Saban. Alabama was probably interested in Georgia co-defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann, but the Crimson Tide ended up going in another direction.
Nick Saban and Alabama had to replace both coordinators this offseason. Saban is quite familiar with replacing his coordinators, but recently the Crimson Tide have not had much continuity at either coordinator slot.
