Is this Grantham thing an analyst position or is this a sign that one of the Dside coaches is fielding offers to leave and Coach is hedging his hand?

I'm going to be so pissed if I don't see at least one delayed double A gap blitz from the secondary this season.

Dr. Matt Rhea leaving Alabama for position with Saints, per report (BOL)

Matt Rhea pens farewell tweet to Alabama after accepting NFL job (BOL)
quote:

Director of sports science Matt Rhea is officially leaving the Alabama football program. After 247Sports’ Josh Pate reported Monday that Rhea was expected to join the New Orleans Saints, the strength coach tweeted a farewell to the Crimson Tide on Tuesday afternoon.

“Love my Alabama guys and grateful to Coach Saban for the experience,” Rhea stated in a tweet. “They won’t even notice I’m gone but what an experience for me! Looking ahead to new challenges but I’ll be cheering for @AlabamaFTBL this fall. #RollTide”

In a subsequent tweet, Rhea revealed Paul Constantine will replace him at UA. Constantine served as assistant strength and conditioning coach at Alabama and also worked with both Rhea and Ballou at Indiana. Tide fans have likely spotted Constantine during game broadcasts, as he oftentimes holds onto the Ball Out Belt for defensive turnovers.

“And just so everyone understands, @BamaCoachPaul has been working with me for 4 years. He’s been studying hard and picking up ideas and methods. Now he’s ready to take it and bring his perspective to the system. Help the next guy and everyone benefits!”

Yeah, but it's good that Ballou is staying.

I don't think we'll hire anyone, since Ballou but then again, they might try and find someone
