Things will look and feel a little different on the Alabama sidelines in 2023. That is because Alabama hired Kevin Steele to be its defensive coordinator in the offseason. Steele is no stranger to coaching under Saban, as he did so in Saban’s first season with the Tide in 2007.
He will have plenty of talent to work with on the defensive side of the ball. The Crimson Tide returned six starters from a season ago. Alabama was also able to sign the No. 1-ranked recruiting class in the country in 2023.
Alabama will have to showcase why it has the potential to be one of the best defenses in the country. It all starts on Saturday against Middle Tennessee State.
