Looks like Cody Kennedy will be moving on. We will bringing Phil Loadholt from Colorado. Also bringing in Vincent Dancy to coach DEs and OLBs. TBD If this means Turner returns. My personal guess is that he will be in more of an analyst role this year and Dancy will take over the entire DL OFFICIALLY next year. This also moves Coleman to just ILBs
They moved Turner inside to coach Defensive Tackles only
That makes sense why OL portal recruiting has been sh!t.Quote:

That was the announcement. I would not be the least bit surprised if Turner did not have a headset game 1.Quote:

DL
OLB/EDGE
ILB
CB
S/Nickle
ST- off the field
K/P- off the field
Sounds to me like they're Ok with his coaching but not happy with his recruiting. Which is in line with the talk amongst fans.Quote:

Saying that, I feel like this is a way to ease him out instead of straight up firing him. I mean you only get 15 headsets for coaches on gameday. I seriously doubt he has a headset next year. I feel like he will quietly be reassigned to an analyst position and sit in booth with our headset guys on gamedays.Quote:

Our DT struggles are way more talent than coaching
In theory his group should be ahead of the others. He has been back since Leach passed away and he had a one year head start on everyone except for Bumphis on our staff.Quote:

Development of player groups have become less important than ever because nobody much hangs around to be developed. There is no reason for Turner to still have a job if he can't get players.Quote:

Carde Smith seems to be the most obvious/likely.Quote:

GotchaQuote:

Looks like we just hired the guy who should be our DC as an analyst in Paul Rhodes. Hopefully he gets one of the 15 headsets. I think I speak for all of us when I say that.
roger that
As I said earlier in the day, I would be VERY SURPRISED if David Turner had a headset game 1. Also funny enough, Rhoads was the DC for Mark Hudspeth at Gulf Shores HS in 2022Quote:
