Any chance Bama hired Austin Thomas? He apparently is already leaving Tennessee. Would be a ace recruiter.

I wouldn't hate it, but his impact is lessened as an off the field coach. He was LSU's "General Manager", but he had a waiver to recruit because LSU's DL Coach was so old that he was childhood friends with Methuselah.

Bama does have a spot on staff to hire, but many expect it to be a QB Coach.

He could do work too with the state of Tennessee having a lot of talent in 2019...

I’ve heard nothing but great things of him. LSU was butt hurt for him leaving, great asset to recruiting.

He might bring Patrick Surtain with him. Isn't Thomas and Surtain's dad close.

A guy on BOL says we are vetting Chris Partridge, the Michigan LB coach, for a spot on our staff.

His Bio

One thing I found interesting:

quote:

Chris Partridge was announced as linebackers and special teams coach for Michigan on Jan. 14, 2016, and is now his second full season serving in that capacity. He was named National Recruiter of the Year by Scout in 2016 and by 247Sports in 2017.

That's my thought.

He lied to both the NCAA and Saban over an arranged meeting with recruits.

Him owning up to it would have been a very minor punishment compared to what he got...

I saw someone last week mention him during the Golding hiring on Twitter. Should have beat them to the punch when they hired him to lock up Gary.

He is also Tyler Friday's primary recruiter.

That's a lot of cooks in the kitchen defensively if they hired him, unless they outright want him as ST Coordinator...

ILB coach. Likely another spot will open up on the defensive side of the ball after the February NSD, too. We'll see. Partridge is a good guess for ILB coach. Would be a good get, IMO.

I forgot . I had read someone alluding to the fact that this was a possibility with line play and lack of recruiting. Who knows
