Auburn football defensive coordinator Kevin Steele watches warmups before the Tennessee game Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018, at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala.
Kevin Steele’s rocky offseason began on the Plains, took a stop on Rocky Top, and now appears headed for the unknown after being let go for the second time this offseason by an SEC school. Tennessee’s $900 buyout of his deal will save Auburn football almost a million dollars…and for that Fly War Eagle is thankful.

Per FootballScoop, Tennessee is on pace to owe Steele $900,000 over monthly installments for the next two years should he indeed be relieved of his duties — Steele signed a two-year deal in mid-January with the Volunteers in which he was set to make $550,000 in base pay and $350,000 in supplemental pay — on top of what would become $4.
