Kevin Steele has agreed to a deal to become Alabama's defensive coordinator, sources told ESPN.
This will be Steele's third different stint at Alabama under Nick Saban, who now has both of his coordinator positions filled after hiring Tommy Rees from Notre Dame on Friday to be the Crimson Tide's offensive coordinator.
Steele, 64, is a 39-year coaching veteran and spent last season as Miami's defensive coordinator. Steele was Saban's first defensive coordinator at Alabama in 2007 and moved to defensive head coach/inside linebackers coach that next season. Steele returned to Alabama in 2013 as director of player personnel and shifted back on field in 2014 as linebackers coach before moving to LSU as defensive coordinator in 2015.
