Feld's interview with Saban might've been done without him physically traveling to UA this week. Seeing conflicting info on that. Tim Watts and some "insider" posters say Saban may interview several guys. Their names are being kept pretty quiet.

Kansas State head strength and conditioning coach Chris Dawson is interviewing for the strength coach job at Alabama, BOL has confirmed. Dawson has been the head strength coach at K-State since 2010 and has held the same position at Kansas (2003-09) and Minnesota (2001-02).

Ruggs probably could’ve been a senario hillman type player on the basketball team. His athleticism is insane

Dawson seems like a really boring hire. Older dude, mediocre program. Not sure what Saban sees there.

Here's what I know...Cochran made the position a highly visible one. So yeah, fans do know and follow strength coaches on twitter like any other assistant. Feld excited the fan base because he’s young, has a big persona and public following. He’d basically be a younger, cutting edge Cochran AND he had experience with Saban and Smart. Just seemed like a no brainer slam dunk. So talking to some older dude from a 7-5 type program with no experience in the Saban tree...easy for me to see why one is exciting and the other really isn’t. That said, I will trust Saban on this...nobody had a clue who Cochran was before Saban hired him.

I know. And nobody knew who he was. I trust Saban but Feld would be a home run hire IMO.

The pick needs to be airtight like when Greg Byrne was hired as AD

Don’t think we have anyone on our basketball team who can dunk like Ruggs; he might even give Kira close competition in driving down the court with the ball.

The Najee we saw from South Carolina on, got better each and every game. I know everyone is excited about Trey, but I think Najee has an even better year next season.
