Alright folks, grab a coffee ’cause this was a proper rabbit hole. Woke up early today scratching my head about where Kevin Steele landed after that whole Alabama shuffle. Kept seeing whispers online, nothing solid. Grabbed my laptop still in pajamas, ready to dig.

First Stop: Social Media Black Hole
Tapped straight into Twitter. Searched “Kevin Steele” “New Job”, scrolled like mad. Mostly old news, fans guessing, some angry rants about past games – useless. Checked his profile? Last post older than my leftover pizza. Dead end. Moved over to Instagram, same ghost town. Linkedin? Profile locked down tighter than Fort Knox. Nada.
News Sites & Forums: The Rumour Mill Grinds
Jumped onto a bunch of college football news sites. Typed his name into search bars like my life depended on it. Found a ton of articles chewing over why he left Bama, gossip about him maybe stepping away, but zip on where he actually went. Got sucked into fan forums – big mistake. One thread said SEC, another whispered NFL, a wild one claimed he’d gone into retirement sailing. Seriously? Needed something concrete.
The Old-School Roster Hunt
Thought, “Duh, maybe just check team staff pages?” Opened up about ten different college football program websites, mostly SEC, some ACC schools folks mentioned. Clicked through “Football Staff” or “Coaching” sections on:
- Mississippi State
- Ole Miss
- LSU
- Texas A&M
- Even checked Miami (FL)
Scanned names, clicked bios… nothing. Lists updated for the new season, but no Steele listed. Frustration level climbing. Coffee cup empty.
Breakthrough: Bypassing the Gatekeepers
Remembered how insiders sometimes leak before sites update. Hopped over to a specific, well-known college football insider news site – the kind that usually breaks stuff. Searched Kevin Steele in their news section. Bingo. Buried under newer headlines, found a short article from about three weeks ago.

The Final Piece
The snippet mentioned him agreeing to a specific role. But I needed confirmation. Went back to that team’s official football page, the one the rumor pointed to. Went straight to the staff directory… still nothing! Weird. Scrolled down further, spotted a link: “Support Staff” or “Football Analysts”. Clicked it. There it was. Not the big splashy Defensive Coordinator title he had before, listed lower down. Name, face, and a tiny bit about his new job as a Senior Defensive Analyst.
So yeah, no huge announcement. He landed quietly as an analyst. Took actual legwork bypassing the usual noise and digging into those non-glamorous staff corners. Proof is sometimes tucked away where folks ain’t really looking. Real talk? Sometimes the obvious answer isn’t on the main page. You gotta look under the couch cushions.
