Kevin Steele Absolutely Snaked Maryland Football
This post was originally titled “Kevin Steele Is the Next Piece of Maryland Football’s Rebuild.” That was because Kevin Steele had verbally agreed to become the next defensive coordinator for Maryland Football. Naturally, I was excited by this news. Steele has worked within some of the biggest programs in college football: Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Clemson, among others.
He was going to be the next piece of Maryland’s rise to being competitive in the Big Ten. I say “going to be” because it turns out that Steele is actually headed for Miami in an incredibly shady move.
Steele Flips to Miami
According to Jeff Ermann of 247Sports, Steele went back on his verbal commitment to Maryland and will now be the defensive coordinator for Mario Cristobal and Miami. It appears that he used the Maryland job as leverage to get a different offer before officially signing with the Terrapins.
Kevin Steele was already recruiting for Maryland and had set up shop in his College Park office when the move was made. The Maryland staff found out he was leaving from Twitter reports.
Needless to say, what an underhanded move from Steele. He used the Terrapins as a pawn to get a different job, then didn’t have the decency to tell any of the staff that he would be leaving. Remember stuff like this anytime a coach criticizes players using the transfer portal.
