I've known Tanner Burns since he was born - he and my son are in the same grade.

People around here are SHOCKED.

The Burns family are HUGE Bama fans and I really don't understand this move at all.

Unless his dad has some kind of bad history with Goff. His dad played pro ball and is a JUCO head baseball coach currently.

Really weird.

His dad is Mike Burns and he played for the Astros and is now the HC at Calhoun CC.

Tanner's granddad and uncle both played football at Bama.

I just wonder if his dad knows some stuff about Goff he doesn't like.

If you aren't sure about a new coach, I can see decommiting and exploring options.

But when you decommit and the immediately commit to the instate rival, the day after a coach is hired - that says you KNOW something about that new coach that you don't like and want to send a message.

Especially since Auburn is a dumpster fire right now.

You said Burns dad coaches at a Juco. Goff recruits Jucos heavily. They have undoubtedly crossed paths sometime.

Can we get a thread title change. He was officially introduced. So clearly we hired Greg Goff.

@AlabamaBSB HC Greg Goff completed full-time staff w/ @GreenWaveBSB assistant Sean Allen. That’s a very solid hire. Will be associate HC.

One thing is for certain with that new #Alabama staff — there’s a ton of charisma and energy. Interested to see how things progress.

Edit: yep, heading to FIU.

Expected. Good get for them. He'll have Texas back in no time. Hopefully we're right there with them.
