As news of Kevin Steele’s hire hit, LSU fans weighed in with a myriad of reactions toward the former Alabama linebackers coach and Clemson defensive coordinator. 
Below are a sampling of the reaction of those who follow the Tigers:

The people who can’t get behind this DC hire, are not considered fans in my opinion. Uneducated bantering is all I see. #KevinSteele #LSU

Can’t believe we waited 2 weeks for this bush league hire. Def not impressed #LSU #lsudc

Kirby Smart obviously wasn’t going to happen, but I expected a bigger name than Kevin Steele. #LSU

The more I read, the more I love the Steele hire. #LSU

I’m going to hold my opinion on this hire until after the season. #lsu

Really #LSU? Kevin Steele? Les Miles will be gone in two years or less. LSU will be a dumpster fire

Noooo! Not the dude who got 70 scored on him! Why Les why? #LSU

Gotta love fans. “This has ruined LSU for decades”. Obviously Steele is such a bum that LSU won’t be competitive until 2047. Damn.

Ok, the more I think about it, & add it all up, the more optimistic I become about the Kevin Steele hire. I think we, #LSU should be fine

The defense isn’t the problem… It’s the QB development #RELAX #LSU

LSU fans seem a bit distraught, possibly because this is the box score from Kevin Steele’s last game as a DC. pic.twitter.com/IifxQUT1IH
