Former Vol Kevin Steele is returning to Tennessee.
He will be on Tennessee’s coaching staff.
Steele served as defensive coordinator for Auburn in 2020. He was Auburn’s interim head coach for the Tigers’ bowl game.
Vols Wire has learned that discussions for Tennessee making a hire to its staff were taking place late last week.
Steele began his coaching career as a student assistant in 1980 under Johnny Majors for the Vols.
Steele was a graduate assistant (1981) and outside linebackers coach (1982) at Tennessee. In 1987-88 he was defensive backs coach under Majors at UT.
Tennessee will kick off the 2021 football season Sept. 4.
The Vols are slated to host Bowling Green at Neyland Stadium.
