Bama is Losing A Bunch of Coaches

[ShotgunDawg]

Not sure if these guys were basically told to look for other jobs or if they want out, but Locksley is already leaving for Maryland

Let's hope he doesn't come calling for some of our defensive staff

Maybe this is why he has brought in Jones and the Idiot who let the kid die.

I know Gattis is leaving for an OC job so he's getting a promotion. Locksley got a HC job. Now I'm not sure about Key but I could see Collins giving him a Co-OC title to get him a raise. They've had something like 20 different assistant coaches leave the last 3 years. The beat goes on.

Anybody hearing Huff to Bama?

As what, the WR coach? They don't have a RB coach opening

Saban's success has brought a new problem: Every AD and coach wants coaches that have learned under the GOAT. The best assistants know going to Bama is the quickest way to a promotion, which causes a to of turnover but also them to have really good coaches every year. Saban rarely makes a bad hire.

The real surprise is that this isn't happening to Clemson. They've had the same coordinators since Morris left for SMU, and nobody is poaching their lower level assistants for coordinator jobs. Their DC is obviously not eager to leave, but their OC has said he'd have taken the GT job if offered. He's neither young nor old, has put out top offenses year after year, and obviously can't be bad at recruiting. Yet nobody interviews him

Anybody hearing Huff to Bama?

He only leaves for a HC opening. He's already a hot name and he doesn't need Associate head coach at Bama.

Durkin dodnt get hired. He came down to Tuscaloosa to observe and I'm sure they discuss bringing him in as an analyst, but when the story hit the internet, their was a ton of backlash, and bama backed off, releasing a statement that he merely came down to observe practice and wasn't hired by the school.

Not yet. I heard Huff to Bama as well.

If he has HC aspirations, can't really blame him, unfortunately

Losing coaches kills us in recruiting. We simply don't have the brand that others do & thus must beat them in recruiting with relationships.

If Huff leaves, he likely take any chance of getting Mark or the other 5 star RB with him. And that's without signing anyone this year.

Just not a good.

I don't see how MSU can take the next step without staff continuity.

I scared that Moorhead is going to recruit his type of players, turn things around, & then leave, at which point in time we are stuck right back in the same spot we are now.

Without a big brand, I don't know how you can build your program without staff continuity

I don't mind being a stepping stone to blue blood programs. I welcome it... means we're being successful

So long as you're OK not competing for anything. I want to build something that can win the West & compete for a playoff spot, but without continuity, it has no chance of happening

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Having the lowest, or one of the lowest total salaries for assistants in the SEC doesn't help keep anyone either.

Bad rumor.

It isn't happening with 4 of the west schools pulling in top 10 classes. The only way you overcome that is by catching those schools rebuilding and being a veteran team. The chances of catching all the teams rebuilding are worse now that jimbo is at aTm. I fully expect LSU to make a serious upgrade at HC soon

I prefer to hope and figure out ways to overcome it. I'll never relagate MSU
