It appears that Clemson coach Dabo Swinney will add Alabama defensive head coach Kevin Steele to his staff after the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
Steele and Alabama coach Nick Saban have worked together closely the past two seasons, as Saban is involved in coordinating the defense, too. Steele will reportedly get a significant bump from his current $360,000 salary, and the Tigers' defense will be entirely in his control.
They've still got to go through background checks and paperwork and whatnot, so I don't think the school will officially announce anything for a few days.
Not sure who Swinney will sacrifice from his current staff, but because they're only allowed nine assistants, somebody's gotta go.
