I’m getting really old … Strong is 62 years old! I vividly remember when the “young man” broke into coaching. In my mind I must still think I’m in my 30’s even though my body tells me a completely different story.

Love the hire, now if we can just get one last analyst to come in.... I'll be extremely happy.

 

[SnakeDoc]

Glad to see him back.

Two former coaches who were working as defensive analysts have left in the last month; Huxtable and Grantham.

Well, the one we got was an upgrade over them.

I see no reason to believe that.

He's a convenience hire. After being passed over by Mario he decided he'd scoot Coral Gables and land at a soft spot...just so happens he's working as an analyst with the same guy he held a co-DC role with last season.

So tell us, are we on track to better defensively with these guys? Not sure that Miami set world on fire with their defense. UA did struggle vs the boogs when Steele was there.

Player quality has a lot to do with it...as you know

Lots more to work with at bama...

With Sunseri leaving for Colorado, does that mean Strong moves into a fulltime coaching position on defense?

Probably not. Sunseri wasn't in an on-field position.
