🏈 With McElwain gone (apparently) - any thoughts on who should replace him?

[mongo4bama]

well i think its going to be someone not mentioned here and outside off the staff as well.

The only problem with Paul Chryst from Wisconsin is that he is a Wisconsin alum. Doubt that he would leave there for another OC position. Maybe if he gets a HC shot somewhere.

 

[gregkelley]

Thats true

 

[Rolling Tide]

I say we get Tony Franklin.:rofl:

 

[BAMAMICK]

Heck remember when we worried about the Head Coaching job? :lol:

I remember listening to the radio, sitting on the beach with my padre as the news broke that Saban was leaving the Dolphins for our Alma Mater. They were pissed. We couldn't stop smiling for a week. :a:

 

[BAMAMICK]

^^ i would prolly vomit if we hired Oregon's OC and Coach Saban would prolly slit his wrists before he brought the spread here...

we dont have even CLOSE to the type of personnel u need to run that offense. im not even gonna get into how much i hate the spread, lets just leave it at we don't have the personnel to run it and i doubt Coach Saban has ANY desire to run it anyway. hes always ran the Pro Style offense.

I support this mesage

He wouldnt have to run a spread.....I would suspect he knows how to run something similar to what we run with our personnel. He seems quite capable.

I've heard Dave Baldwin's name thrown around out there a few times. Here's a link so his bio:

I don't think anyway REALLY knows who's being considered other than the man himself. Saban.

I think he sees a better opportunity to use Bama as a springboard. Saban would prep him to be a HC better than Bielema.

 

[gregkelley]

Do you guys think he will wait and announce a replacement after champ game ?

 

[psychojoe]

Personally I don't think he will be in a great hurry to hire the next one.

 

[gregkelley]

Why not whats the deal with that?

 

[Duder]

Why not whats the deal with that?

Because not much will change. Kids commit to Bama because of Saban, not the OC. They will still be a two-back pro-style offense regardless of the name

 

[bamajt]

I know this is a little off topic, (and may be a sensitive issue) but when anyone mentions Bielema, does anyone else hear Bulimia? Maybe Chryst is tired of people thinking he has a problem with bulimia. I'll quit now.

 

[SnakeFan]

There's one name I'm hearing right now that doesn't sit well with me...not sure why his name is being thrown around other than recruiting in Mobile.

You might want to consider Burns as well...but, I'm still leaning Groh's direction.

Joey Jones?

 

[Mr. Pink]

I think we hire from within and promote Groh up to OC. Longshot that i've heard thrown around is Mark Helfrich from Oregon. Supposedly some ties with Saban somewhere (I think they knew each other from Toledo maybe?). I highly doubt it but i remember he was a surprise hire at Oregon because he was more of a pro style/ multiple back type OC and he learned the spread with Kelly at Oregon. Would be cool to have an OC with that variation of kowledge.... but I still think its Groh

 

[Bama-Tee]

question

I've heard the name Freddie Kitchens.

 

[Duder]

I've heard the name Freddie Kitchens.

You guys hiring a hunting coach?
