Not sure it's a great idea to throw 1 million at a first time defensive play caller. I guess that's what we did with Ansley so might as well keep up the trend.
They must really not like Steele. OSU in addition to a raise probably told he was in line to be their DC.
Current rumor is Washington as DC, Steele staying on as position coach, and Rodney garner coaching DL. Willie Martinez coaching secondary.
Here's a current guess for defensive staff... Al Washington — Defensive coordinator/outside linebackers or defensive ends Willie Martinez — Cornerbacks Rodney Garner — Defensive tackles Drew Christ — Safeties John Jancek — Inside linebackers SIAP https://atozsportsnashville.com/tennessee-vols-potential-al-washington-defensive-staff/
