I guessed this would take three to four days to get the position coaches into play. It's just as important to get the support staff completed and augmented as fast as possible also, sadly we have to move at lighting speed.

Yea it is tough because you can start contacting recruits again on Friday and the portal opens on Monday. So things are moving very quickly.

If he hires a friend, I hope it isn't because he's a friend.

Yeah, I think some off field staffer retention and some new hires will be named pretty soon. OL coach hopefully will be announced later today.

As I said yesterday, I would expect Matt Holecek to be the QB coach and maybe even PGC.
As someone stated last night, would not be shocked if Alec Abeln to end up being the TE coach. I believe it is down to him and JR Sandlin at OU. Abeln is at UT with Heupel. Could also see one of these guys be named the PGC.
No clue on RB coach at the moment. I seriously doubt it will be Knox. I could see Mele or Washington interviewing for it as well as each of them coached that position for Leach.
Sandlin is a good dude. He?s from Tuscaloosa. I?d like to see him here.

I have to admit I'm not a fan of keeping staff from the last administration. Affecting culture change is not simple thing to do. The program needs to affect change through out the organization, it needs a total culture change. That said I understand that for the sake of expediency and the compressed timelines that we are currently working in compromises have to be made. Maybe these will be kept to a minimum and the holdovers will have total buy in with the new way of doing things. They are professionals.

Yeah I can see that. I think there are a few things in play like you mention. I know Turner and Bump both were frustrated with how things were being run. Bumps previous 2 stops...Leipold and Whittingham. They can really run a program well.

That was my biggest worry with Bumphis and retaining him. Is he really a good coach? Or was he just under exceptional HCs who know how to run programs at high level of efficiency and organization. Obviously he is a decent recruiter though so with the compressed timeline of things it was probably best to just go ahead and keep him and have him on a short leash this year.
