🏈 🔥 Hot Seat 2025 / Coaching Carousel: OL Coach Kap and Alabama part ways

[TerryP]

Roach is already the assistant head coach.

I see you've come back to "assistant head coach" on a few occasions. A title doesn't automatically mean equipped to coach a position. He was given the AHC title when he was retained by DeBoer. He wasn't given the title because the defensive line has been performing better than its peers.

Based on what?

Is it evaluation or development that has lead to the dearth of draft picks from the defensive line?

Yeah Roach isn't a good defensive line coach.. I figure he was given the assistant head coach gig because he was an essential recruiter and important to the morale, of the team.. not to mention he was an alum..In order to keep a job he should be moved to LBs..I'm sure he could coach them well..
But, he most likely will stay where he is..I hope for the best!

Productivity…what has the DL done since he took over…average production at best.

I honestly think it’s both. Shouldn’t the DL coach be able to evaluate talent and coach them up? I haven’t seen Roach do well with either.
