The Cover 3 crew talks Tommy Rees, Kevin Steele, Nick Saban, conference realignment and more. The conversation starts with Alabama identifying its new defensive coordinator and offensive coordinator, bringing Kevin Steele back for another stint in Tuscaloosa as DC (1:30) and then tapping Tommy Rees from Notre Dame to come run the offense (15:44). Then, candidates for Marcus Freeman's hire to replace Rees as OC (23:44) and what's next at Miami, where Mario Cristobal now has two coordinator hires to make after both losing Steele and firing Josh Gattis (29:00).
