Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele is a journeyman.
Steele, who is in his first year coordinating Auburn’s defense, previously had a stint at Clemson as the Tigers’ defensive coordinator from 2009-2011, and Clemson fans aren’t too fond of him either.
It just so happens that Steele will face his former team and coach — Dabo Swinney — in the opening week of the season.
En route to Swinney’s golf outing, Clemson fans took a shot at Steele with “Kevin Steele pees sitting down” sign:

Steele was fired from his post with Clemson after the Tigers got blown out by West Virginia in the 2011 Orange Bowl by a video game-like final score of 70-33. The Tigers ended up finishing No. 71 nationally in total defense (394.4 yards allowed per game) and No. 81 in scoring (29.3 points) that season.
