Wrong on Pannunzio - Jeff Banks is the Special teams coach, and according to some articles, will also coach TEs
Also didn't mention Dan Enos - QB coach
DL (probably) will be determined
Of course Cochran IS the S/C coach, but doesn't count as one of the 10
Yeah, no I'm not.

And I didn't mention anyone that isn't listed on the Alabama staff. Dan Enos has not been officially hired.
Your missing a defensive coordinator. Who's Tosh Co- with?
He was co-with Pruitt. No one else has been named yet and Saban hasn't announced who will handle DC duties in 2018.
There's some "yes, that right" and "no, that's not right" here.
It makes sense to me. As example, right now Saban could hire a linebackers coach and have Tosh move back to the defensive line. It is his specialty. That move would go against how Saban has constructed his defensive staff in the past with having his (or one of) his DC's coaching linebackers. On the other hand we could see a defensive line coach hired and Tosh remain where he is currently.
It's important to note here that Saban has talked to quite a few and those meetings have been labeled as "interviews" when the guys aren't candidates in the first place. Take Surtain's father. It was labeled as an interview. But, at the same time Bama already had a few defensive guys on staff with experience with defensive backs.
BTW, remember when Chip Kelly was on campus and suddenly we had headlines that read "Kelly as OC for Bama?" {sic}
It's an interesting pastime but in the end we'll likely be a little surprised at who is named: see Mac, Nuss, and a host of others who came out of the blue.
He has been officially hired, but hasn't been slated/titled as "QB coach" right now. He's on staff, officially, as an analyst.
That's yes and no as well. In the presser after NSD Tosh was said to be the DC. There's nothing official from UA media relations/Saban on his title.

His meeting with Saban was considered--or labeled--an interview. Yet, there are reports it was a just a meeting of the minds and he's not a candidate. (There are more than a few that's happened with this season.

He asked for on-field coaches. Last I checked an analyst isnt an on-field coach.
Tosh has been Co-DC for over a year, again its not official. We all know that Enos is going to be QB coach, we all know Tosh is likely going to be DC. They aren't official, which is why I didn't list it. And considering none of it has been announced, its possible all of that could change, which is why I didnt list it.
It's not a big deal, bird. But, no. He didn't. It's no big deal your saying Enos hasn't been hired yet. He has.
It's ok to be wrong, ya know? Considering the way you've gone after some of the newer posters/members about things they've heard I'm going to assume the respectful and gracious reply of mine threw you for a loop? Dunno...
I'm wrong literally daily. I take "assistant coaches" as on-field coaches. I wouldn't call an offensive analyst an assistant coach. I said he hasnt "officially" been hired, which I had not seen anything official said about it. Only "Enos will reportedly be hired as QB coach." Same with Tosh "reportedly going to be hired as DC." All I was saying.
A few weeks ago I was told he was hired as an analyst with a good chance he'd be "bumped" to the QB coach. As recently as a week ago I read a comment from Rodney repeating the same thing I'd heard. To the best of my knowledge, nothing has changed since then. He's being paid. There's no doubt about that.
I'm still of the opinion we see two/co-DC's. During the press conference after signing day he mentioned Tosh as DC and it went (IE: the stories) from there. I'd say that's pretty solid.
Fair enough on "assistants" and how that's read. Makes sense. Titles and what not, right? What the hell do they mean now-a-day anyway?

As he will likely be. I havent said he wont. Only that he hasnt been given that title yet. At least not publicly.

SEC Country versus Rodney Orr. Which one do we go with? One article is three weeks old, this post is from four days ago and it mirrors what Terry said earlier.
- Rodney, if Enos is on staff now, don't we already have 1 too many if Panunzzio FunR3 2018-02-15 15:30:49
- is still on staff too?
- Burns, Key, Locksley, Gattis, Pannunzio TI 2018-02-15 16:05:00
- Golding, Lupoi, Scott, Banks, a DL coach...
Enos an analyst until further notice -- at which time something would have to give
