I am hearing that it very well could be Freddie Roach, who is on Alabama's staff coaching in the game tonight. He used to be at South Alabama, has good strong ties to junior colleges and played ball for the Crimson Tide...

This could be a good move b/c of his connection to Alabama recruiting and to the JUCO schools.

He had average defenses the other 2 years at South Ala, but he won the 2011 JUCO Natty. He doesn't have a proven track record of committed prospects though, but his only D1 on the field coaching job was South Ala for 2 years.
