Obviously, Steele is a solid choice at DC...and a better choice as a recruiter. Does anyone know if Coach Thompson was retained by Dooley? If so, it already appears that Dooley is building his staff in the same fashion as Saban.

Yes, Thompson is staying on as LB coach.

Guess Stele wasnt happy at Alabama after all, or atleast he never got the control he wanted.

Sounds like he's staying at Clemson now.

I knew I should've waited to put that Steele stuff on here. Sorry about that.

Two thoughts...

How many people has that site said are UT bound that haven't ended up heading to Knoxville?

One of the things that struck me as odd is how the UT writers were talking about Steele's recruiting ability as one of the main reasons they were hiring him. Yet, in his last year here (and with Dabo) he's demanded his time on the road be limited. It just didn't click with me...
