🏈 The Coaching Carousel : UT promotes Kelsey Pope to WR coach

[ElephantStomp]

Just out of curiosity I guess, but of out of all the coaches that have changed schools, which one do you think will have the quickest turnaround and secondly, suppose Alabama was looking for a coach. Which one do you think would have been the best choice

I honestly think Kelly will do good at LSU.

If Saban retired today I’m not sure I see a coach that I’d want, Matt Rhule if we could convince him to leave his NFL gig

Paul Johnson is available. According to a former poster, we weren't getting our money's worth from Saban and Paul Johnson was one of the best coaches in America...

Blast from the past there.

There's always Richrod.

A former poster really said that?!?!? I can’t picture any moment where Johnson was a better hire than Saban even when we lost to ULM

LMAO, Not this again. That poor guy got torched.

Don't cringe if you can help yourself.

This is an ode to the comedy/horror film, not Fleetwood Mac's original.

The effect of Mario's move from Oregon to Miami is its created a modern day Donner Party within the Auburn base (boosters, fans, administration, media, and the like.)

If it hasn't passed it already it's neck and neck with something we saw a few years ago where Texas web sites were creating their own news in regard to Saban taking the Longhorns job. (They report it, then refer to themselves as "sources.")

I love Venables' rationale for not taking the aubrun job. If only Harsin had known what happens to coaches' daughters down there.

Paul Johnson is the perfector of the triple option. I liked him back in the day when our only option was Rich Rod. We made many bone headed choices before CNS.

Oh, he had a knack of winning in unwinnable situations, and the other way around. DABaxter's love affair with Johnson, changing to white helmets and crimson pants, and Coach Saban to Texas are three of our longest running urban legends around here.

Regarding Johnson, he's not much different from Malzahn where his players learn an offensive system that is so out of step with most colleges and all in the NFL that it stunts his players' development. GaTech was hell on wheels with cut blocks and wheel routes.

Think any of these coaches (looking at Diaz) come in as analysts?

changing to white helmets

I like the white helmets as an option.

and crimson pants

EWWWWW! Nope.

Riley does have the WTH look on his face... Priceless. He is about to find out they are crazy on the west coast.

There have been times when ex-coaches visit during this time of the year to provide some perspective and possibly come aboard later. There have been rumors that some have already been seen there (Mullen?) but I haven't heard anything concrete.

Here was an article way back on Kiffin and how Saban routinely has folks in.

Saban: Kiffin visit 'professional development'

If it took calling Phil Jackson to better understand the merits of running zone versus man-to-man, he wouldn't hesitate to pick up the phone and dial. There's no room to worry about outside perception in Alabama coach Nick Saban's world.

Are you thinking about Kent Hrbek? Kruk may have done it too (which would just add to his legend status, IMO).

There's always Richrod.

Too late! Jax St already locked Richrod up! (and his wife in the basement, hopefully)

Now this is the guy and would had been Bama Heads coach! Then turn it down, does he know what is in Jacksonville?
