Coach Gentry played under Steele and Smart for 5 years..been a very good coach at every stop with much less talent..offered to come to Bama and teach “ big boy defense”.. and knows the Saban standard…I think he would make a super coach here..

We're not going to get nick Gentry. I don't know why people think former players should come back and coach the team?

Again, it wouldn't matter... the idea still stand. why would we want the former players to come back and coach with Saban or Kirby? Just because they know the defense doesn't mean they can coach the kids up. Everyone is different. Gentry has to earn his strip. He has to be able to show that he can coach. Right now he's doing good job at Jacksonville and UAB. He has been there at UAB a while If I remember correctly... so he should've been moved up by now... or get some experience as DC... similar to Tommy Rees.

Bad example: he's not coaching. He's off the field position.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix returning to Alabama in player development role

A former 5-star recruit out of Orlando, Clinton-Dix played for the Crimson Tide from 2011-13.

Lets be real, he's "coaching". But I get your point, you mean "on the field".
