| FTBL Alabama football coaching staff changes and updates...

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Is this suppose to be a good or bad thing? Freeze at Ole Miss was shaddy as we all know.

He'd come pre-programmed a good understanding of the Freeze offense = Good thing.

I’m hearing about a move to the 4-2-5 defense. Come on Caleb. Two more years, and you’re set for life.

You're hearing what? how can you hear something that you read on social media?

Tom Allen had some good pieces on his staff at IU during that time... no coincidence that when they left and moved up the ladder, IU slid back down.

So that was the staff a few years ago when Indiana had a good year or two at least to their standards?

 

[BAMAneck]

He read it out loud , clearly.

Don't remember the exact record(s) but I know they went downhill quick after those guys left... and DeBoer's stock just kept going up. As did Wommack's.

OC: Ryan Grubb (Washington)
RB: Robert Gillespie (Alabama)
OL: Scott Huff (Washington)
TE: Nick Sheridan (Washington)
WR: JaMarcus Shephard (Washington)
DC: Kane Wommack (South Alabama)
DL: Freddie Roach (Alabama)

Open:
LB and DB: Who are we going after? If Wommack getting his own ppl, I wonder if he get to bring someone from USA?

Are we getting a QB coach?

That is what I would like to know or will he have any input on the hiring?

Grubb is the QB coach who worked with Penix at Washington he does OC/QB so we should be good there.

LB I'm thinking
Durkin or Bala

S
Morrell

Db
Not sure.

We got 3 spots left basically and even though it'd be nice to have OLB and ILB coaches I think you're going to have to bring those together or you'll have to do a Db and Safeties coach.

Because I possess special abilities.

 

[Rsedge72]

I didn‘t know that. I assumed like most that it happened on that play.

Happened early in the game on a punt return I believe…..
he wins the heisman that year if not for the injury……

 

[Rsedge72]

Does he want to run the 4-2-5 ( hybrid) or a 3-4?..most coaches stick to their guns.. that is the confusing part here.. what does Womack run?

He will be hands off of the defense, for the most part

 

[rmctide]

He’s assuming since Washington and S Alabama both ran a 4-2-5.

No shit.

 

[TerryP]

Stop always making perfect sense. But seriously, regardless of who Alabama hired, there were going to be good coaches and players leave. I would not call 24 a lost season, but people are going to have to realize that it's going to take a season or two to get his staff the way he wants and get acclimated to the recruiting aspect.

How long did it take him to get his staff the way he wanted and get acclimated to recruiting when he took over the UW job?

 

[TerryP]

Deboer needs a win. I feel like not one move has went his way yet.

When he got off the plane with Morgan was a MAJOR win...without stepping foot on campus.

 

[24and7]

Huge.

So now Bama is officially a 4-2-5 defense.. Kind of explains why Trob declined..Maybe CKD wanted the shift of defensive philosophy..

 

[24and7]

He will be hands off of the defense, for the most part

I was just wondering what Coach DeBoer really wanted.. we all was rooting for TRob to get the job, but he is a 3-4 guru..I think CKD wanted a 4-2-5 all along.. so that’s what we are getting now..

The losses outweigh the good from my limited perspective but that may just be part of this transition.

Losses = Niblack, Bond, Amos, high profile recruit decommitments, not able to land T-Rob

Wins= Morgan, OC, WR Coach, keeping Roach and Gillespie, maybe a decent DC (?)

I’m still worried about the recruiting ability of this staff as a whole.

 

[TerryP]

Losses = Niblack, Bond, Amos, high profile recruit decommitments, not able to land T-Rob

Bond isn't a loss. Amos is chasing money. Niblack hasn't committed to anyone, yet.

Calling "not being able to land T-Rob" as a loss? In my opinion, you are jumping to a conclusion.

As I posted the other day the interview lasted a long time. In my view, that means they were talking about scheme. There's a good chance the two just didn't meet eye to eye. If DeBoer lands Wommack? It's an upgrade. You'll LOVE his fire on the sidelines.

I’m still worried about the recruiting ability of this staff as a whole.

Why?

You need to look at the structure being built. Have you noticed who's been tagged on every offer?

The football program is going through a significant change. I know I keep saying this. Essentially, Saban built an NFL franchise and DeBoer, with Morgan, have come in as new management.

I have NO doubt about how they will maneuver the portal along with what the name Alabama brings to recruiting. I've spent a few hours reading/researching Morgan. He's a fuckin' stud recruiting.
