Former Nebraska assistant coach Kevin Steele is in the thick of one of the most interesting stories of the college football offseason.
He reportedly will serve as Tennessee's acting head coach.
He will guide the program while the university searches for a replacement for Jeremy Pruitt, who was fired with cause on Monday for alleged NCAA violations under his watch.
According to The Knoxville News Sentinel, Steele signed a two-year contract Jan. 12 to become a defensive assistant coach with the Vols.
Steele, 62, has experience helping a team through transition, recently serving as the interim coach at Auburn after it fired ex-coach Gus Malzahn.
