If it is bullshit..fine… you have insinuated you wasn’t even sure if it was or not..
The "rumors" that his wife didn't (or doesn't) want to move to AL based on political issues, race issues, or some aversion to AL is what is bullshit. She can have had a preference(s) to stay in the NW for reasons that had nothing to do with anything negative regarding AL. And that, from what I've heard from different people, is the truth. And a massive part of all of it was Grubb knowing he was likely going to get the OC job with the Hawks, something that he'd basically been given a heads up on by Mike McDonald (who he was good friends with). They ultimately decided to take that offer, which was a good opportunity and allowed them to stay home.

I won't lie, I do get offended when people say they don't like the South and would never live here. Has absolutely nothing to do with any of this conversation, but I rarely ever get offended, but I don't like when folks talk down about where we live.

I read last week that the states with the most inflow of new residents (I am to assume this is legal residents) are 1: South Carolina, 2: Texas, 3: North Carolina, 4: Florida, and 5: Tennessee. I didn't read deep enough to see where those folks are coming from, but based on my part of Tennessee, a lot of them are from parts north of Kentucky and North Carolina. That was my experience in Charlotte as well. We had almost an entire street in the hood that was from various parts of NY, had neighbors on my street from Ohio, CT, Michigan, Maryland, NY and Virginia.

What do know about Kalen hiring former Bama DB Coach Jason Jones (currently at North Carolina)?
Alabama expected to add former Tide player in assistant DB coach role
Former Alabama defensive back Jason Jones is being targeted in an assistant defensive backs coach role at his alma mater, BOL has learned.
Jones graduated from Alabama in 2001 after playing for the Crimson Tide in the late 1990s. He recently spent two seasons as the cornerbacks coach at North Carolina.
Before his most recent coaching experience in Chapel Hill, Jones coached with Kane Wommack at Indiana from 2020-2022, FAU in 2019, and Ole Miss from 2013-2018, where he coached with Kane Wommack's father, Dave Wommack.

FWIW, I wasn't trying to be purposely vague with any previous responses on the matter. On some topics, I may do that at times, though prefer not to if I can find a way around it. But regardless, I try (maybe not always successfully) to word things in a manner where people will know if I'm offering an opinion or offering what I'd consider to be solid info on something. People are always welcome to disregard it either way, but we (RTB staff) should try and set the record straight when possible, and when we are confident in doing so.

Pretty much only what I added in the other thread. You kinda covered it... Former Bama guy, has ties to Wommack and knows his defense. As it stands, would be in a support role, but could do all the on-field coaching needed.

So, he's not the actual replacement for the coach Kalen fired.
My understanding, no. Morrell is moving into an on-field role to replace that spot (but he'll be LB coach). Wommack will "roam". Other stuff could still happen though which could possibly change things up.

Correct me if I am wrong, it appears an analyst can do coaching just as an assistant but can't go recruit off campus.
This is a little dated but
The Division I Council on Tuesday approved a rule change adopted by the Football Bowl Subdivision and Football Championship Subdivision Oversight Committees to permit any staff member to provide technical and tactical instruction to student-athletes. The decision is not final until the meeting concludes Wednesday.
The change would be effective immediately. Moving forward, any staff member may provide technical and tactical instruction to student-athletes during practice and competition.
The proposal does not change the number of off-campus recruiters. FBS teams remain limited to up to 11 staff members and FCS teams remain limited to 13 staff members who may participate in off-campus recruiting activities. National service academies are permitted an additional four off-campus recruiters. Both subdivisions must include the head coach as an off-campus recruiter, and only staff members who regularly engage in on-campus coaching activities with student-athletes can be counted as off-campus recruiters.
FBS programs also remain able to have up to four graduate student coaches and no more than five strength and conditioning coaches. Limits for student assistant coaches will be the same as the number of permissible off-campus recruiters for a football program.
Correct. If Bama was down a staff member, he could be assigned as an off campus recruiter temporarily, but in the role it appears he will be in, he will have to stick to on campus recruiting (which is still very helpful in this situation).
