The Alabama football program is looking to hire a new defensive coordinator. On Monday, reports circulated that Alabama defensive coordinator Kevin Steele is retiring.
With that being the case, Alabama is already searching for its next defensive coordinator.
In the past, the Crimson Tide have had successful defensive play-callers like Kirby Smart, Mel Tucker, Tosh Lupoi, and Steele. Each has found ways to have success at Alabama under the tutelage of Alabama head coach Nick Saban.
The offseason is young and the program has plenty of time, but it would be wise to hire one sooner rather than later so the void won’t impact the recruiting trail and the precious time to game plan for the upcoming season.
