You just got Ra Ra Cochran excited again..lol

He's gonna con a school into hiring him as HC, sit down at his desk for the first time, and absolutely have no idea how to run a program. "I honestly didn't think I'd get this far."

I stopped paying attention once I saw the thought they could get Huff at RB Coach, then Texas retains Drayton at RB Coach, and now some think he'd still come in as TE Coach just for the $$$

I wouldn’t take Gattis back if it meant it were him or no WR coach at all. frick that pussy

Saban: Jaylen Waddle will be 'game-day decision' for title game (BOL)



CNS also quoted here in Waddle thread.

Just read on BOL that Golding could possibly head to Texas with Sarkisian

Be great to have coach Pruitt back

Well that would be interesting

Seems odd he hasn’t hired a DC yet and naming the DL coach but if he somehow got Davis, Flood, Tosh and Golding that would be a hell of a start to a recruiting staff

Footballscoop reporting Sark going after Corey Raymond from LSU too. Would be a tough pull I think but he is going after some recruiters for sure

Just an FYI here, but we are aware of all the discussion involving coaching changes. We aren't ignoring, just focusing on the Heisman, awards and prep for NC game. The UA staff continues to focus on the game and have been told by numerous sources Saban isn't worried about any moves until after the game on Monday. Not a shock as it's been his MO at Alabama. Saban usually meets with his entire staff after the season.

Here are a few things we have heard with some having already been reported. Bear in mind these things go back and forth often (see Mike Bobo to So Car and then to Auburn), so there could be changes. As things stand now:

- We do expect Kyle Flood to leave for Texas as reported barring something unexpected. We are told he will be OC. Promotional move makes sense.

- The UA replacement obviously will be a priority for Saban after the game, but we are told he won't be in a hurry. Again getting the right one is the priority. Which he seems to be well within his wheelhouse. We are told there is a lot of excitement about the talent that will be on campus next year on that side of the ball and there will be a lot of quality candidates.

- Multiple sources indicate Bill O'Brien will be under consideration. He was in town for a few days and is leaving this week and could be at the game. How involved is to be determined in our opinion. O'Brien is likely to have other options as well, so both parties are in the starting phase here. O'Brien was expected in Tuscaloosa for a visit before the Sark news broke. But we aren't sure if Sark leaving played a role in his visit. Saban knew Sark was leaving before the media did.

- There is plenty of buzz that Holmon Wiggins will also go to Texas. Sources tell BOL they believe its likely he will, but that one could still be up in the air somewhat. If he leaves it's likely to be with Saban's blessings.

- Two good sources told us they do not expect Jeff Banks or Karl Scott to head to Texas. Nothing definite here but not hearing they are leaving at this stage.

- Checked on the Bo Davis to Texas report and it sounds like Texas has shown interest but so have other schools and NFL teams. He's likely to have options. Doesn't mean he won't end up in Austin but this could have some twists and turns. But Davis was at Texas a few years ago.

We've heard other rumors but nothing substantial enough to report or comment on at this stage.
