Was there a vacancy?

How good of a recruiter is he

Long speculated that Bobby Williams would retire/move to player personnel role. I guess it actually happened.

I would imagine he can help in Alabama and Florida, but maybe more of a move to improve line technique (ala. Pendry or Stoutland).

If true this great all around. Get an upgrade as OL coach but still keep MK on the staff. fricking A.

Nice pick up. Mario's lines have not been impressive, good thing Blake and Jake could move around to survive to play another down.

Who was our OL coach in 2012-13? Whoever that was did a great job (obviously looked good due to the beastly players), but didnt he leave after that season along with Nuss?

Stoutland, and he's a good'un. The NFL doesn't come knocking if you're not.

At least Nick left me special teams.

Joe Pendry 2007-2010
Jeff Stoutland 2011-2012
Mario Cristobal 2013-2015 (assuming that he's moving to TEs as reported)

Key was kind of viewed as a rising star and was supposed to be O'Leary's successor, not sure what went wrong

I've never heard of this Brent Key guy. He's going to be a massive upgrade over Cristobal as an OL coach.

It seems like TEs coach is where Saban puts his useless coaches who are excellent recruiters. See Bobby Williams.

You finally had a decent year. Congrats.

With all the talent Bama has recruited at the OL spots the past couple years, Key is walking into the best possible situation for a new coach. He's already got an anchor at LT and a host of 4 and 5 star prospects to choose from for the other spots. The second group of OL is probably better than a lot of teams first string.
