Defensive Staff?

Wommack is our DC
Linguist is DBs (CBs?)
Roach is our DL
Hitschler is Safeties
Wommack has primarily worked with LBs in the past, so I'm thinking he'll be working with ILBs for Bama but that's just a guess
Are we going to have another LB coach for OLB/Edge players? Haven't seen much since we made the Hitschler hire

Inge from the Washington staff is expected to be the ILB coach.
One of LBs was all Pac-12 1st team and one was all Pac-12 honorable mention.
He was named Our Network, whatever that is, Pac-12 linebacker coach of the year.
I really didn't want to bring in any Washington defensive staff but he has enough to for me to give him a chance. I really want us to go back to that elite linebacker play we use to have.

I agree about the staff. Nothing statistically was very good there. My biggest concern with this staff so far is whether or not they can motivate the players toughness to Alabama standards. It seemed to return last year and I really hope they can build upon it.

Defense or rather being serious about defense was/is the only mild concern I have with CKD. You don’t necessarily have to have an incredible defense in the SEC (although it doesn’t hurt) to win but you better have at least a good one.
The cobbled together secondary is going to need some massive coaching up and reps, reps and more reps this Spring and August.

Alabama always plays good defense. Even under questionable coaches, the defense was usually competitive. It's in the programs DNA.

I was wondering about the same thing. Earlier it was reported that William Inge (Washington's co-DC/LB-coach) would join KDB's staff at Alabama: LINK,
but that seemed premature. Inge's twitter and insta accounts still refer to him as being with the Washington Huskies.
I understand that Bama's defense will probably switch from a 3-4 formation to a 4-2-5 defense. This may mean, looking at KDB's defensive staff in Washington, that there will be only one linebackers coach, and not both an ILB and OLB coach as we've always had under Saban.

Other sites have said this is still expected as of earlier this week. Dealing with UW holding ul coaches departing have been a mess. Doesn't mean things haven't change but everyone I've see that covers Bama have only mentioned Inge in relation to DeBoer's last on field coaching spot.

In terms of assistant coaches, we apparently have 9:
Offensive staff:
-Ryan Grubb, OC/QB coach
-Scott Huff, OL coach
-JaMarcus Shephard, WR coach
-Nick Sheridan, TE coach
-Robert Gillespie, RB coach
Defensive Staff:
-Kane Wommack, DC
-Freddie Roach, DL coach
-Maurice Linguist, co-DC/cornerbacks coach
-Colin Hitschler, co-DC/safeties coach
William Inge, LB coach, would make 10.
Who from these coaches would coach special teams?

Probably Hitschler
