🏈 Ballou and Rhea take over UA S&C program

Special teams coordinator.

This is good for both sides.

UGA has to give an S&C coach an on field role, which he has no high level experience doing.

Bama can inject new blood into an S&C role that perhaps has gotten a bit stale, regardless of the energy Cochran provides with his voice.

Woah. CNS didn't let CSC say goodbye to the team. Something went down. We know how CNS keeps things like this close to the vest, so we may never fully know what actually happened. Saban was pretty tight-lipped about Kirby's departure despite all the shady stuff we heard about Kirby after he left. But not letting his longest-tenured assistant say goodbye to the team? Some really bad blood, it appears.

Not surprising after what Kirby pulled leaving and where he is going.

What a story...

@Sgt. Lincoln Osiris,

"I want to be on the field."

"No."

I wish him well in his new on the field position at Georgia. Thank you for all you have done to benefit the Alabama program.

The AV team at Bryant Denny is scrambling now. 95% of the videos have Cochran screaming in them.

Time to start the list of potential replacements. Somebody mentioned the guy at Oregon. What about the guy at Northwestern?

BTW ... @Sgt. Lincoln Osiris good to see you back in action.

The guy at Oregon came from Georgia. Been at Oregon only a year I believe.

"Scott did a really good job for us here and was a big part of our success, but he was looking for a new career path,” Saban told ESPN. “He wanted to get on to the field coaching and would like one day, I think, to be a head coach. We didn’t really have anything here to offer him along those lines, and Georgia did. I understand him wanting to take on that path.

”As good as Scott was for us here as our head strength coach, it’s probably best for him and best for us if he’s able to do there at Georgia what he wants to do now with his career.”

That almost sounds like he is saying "I won't say I told you so when you don't make it".

Saban made a point during his HBO show with Belichick, that he does not believe in stealing coaches from your former employer. He said he did not do so when he left Belichick and he thinks that since he does what he can to elevate his coaches, when they do get a head job, they should not then try to steal his other coaches.

How long before SC is off the field and back into the sc room?

 

[rammerjammer]

Can't blame a guy for wanting to move up in his profession. With us being on the down hill side of Saban's career at Bama, Maybe Cochran feels that he can go to Georgia and reset his time.

While Coch can always get a job in S/C because of how well he did at Bama. Being able to prove himself on the field and possibly move up, is obviously important in the career path he has taken. Best of luck to ya. Thank you for making Bama Great Again.
