re: Coaching Changes for Alabama(Analysts edition!!!)

And he was a big part of C-Tuddies recruitment at OU.

Ok, Boulware has taken the lead on my hopes for one of our remaining spots. I would love to replace Banks' Texas connections with someone who has their own connections there. I mean, I would be happy with any 2 or the three that are being mentioned, but I think Boulware might have some untapped upside that Saban might be able to get out of him.

The good thing is that all three have been ST coaches in the past, so we should be good in that phase of the game.

He looks like he had a lot of loyalty with the guys at OU cause most of them transferred after he left. Don't know if that is good or bad. I also don't know if he was that good or if kids are not connecting with DeMarco Murray but he is basically down to McGowen.

ETA: Saw OU is getting Brooks back.

We get Gran/Boulware and I get all the running backs

Sumlin - Butch Jones Role
Pannunzio - Off Field

LET'S GO!

So it's emotional then - good to know

QB/OC- O'Brien
OL- Marrone -would have preferred Stoutland but he's part of the O'brien package and a very good o-line coach in his own
WR- Wiggins -Solid job last season and knows the core.
RB- Boulware- Texas recruiting background and already familiar with Both Wheaten and Jase and comes with special teams experience.
TE/ST-Gran - former Offensive coordinator and RB reputation, but would also excel in coaching up the 2 younger TE coming into the receiving core.
Analyst- Panunnzio and special assistant to HC who will be able to assist all film study with special teams, Te's, Rb.

My only wish is that O'Brien sticks to a lot of what sark did.
We ran more pro set stuff and our balance kept defense off balance all yr..Bill tends to get away from the running game.
Seeing that we will have so much talent at that spot.
Also will need on the road at Fla,AU and Texas A&M to This keeps bryce from needing to fling it over 30 times every game.This also Depending on how well our young WR's play early on..
This all depends on how spaced out the fla and A&M road games are.

Nice piece on Doug Marrone from al.com. Seems like a good hire for the good guys:

We've had zero or one loss at the end of the regular season in 11 of Saban's 14 seasons. It's completely insane what he's done here.

Honestly more concerned with Ole Miss next year than I am AU. Lane will have that offense cranking and if our defense isn't on point, asking a pretty new offense to keep up could be trouble. I'm guessing we get them early as we almost always do.

I understand but now that we seen it and have it on film,I think we do a better job with it.
But the main factor with me is I think golden and the defensive unit got more freedom on personnel packages toward the end..specifically against AU in the iron bowl, Arky and Notre dame..We saw more of a solid rotation packages with 50,58,48,47 along with Allen, sander stepping up..We also saw 13,14 and 29 improved play while also seeing less of wright blowing assignments..Also saw moody step up at Arky and play situational packages against Notre dame..
Getting one of Mathis or smith to play as well as 58 and finding somebody to be solid for surtain..I dont think we replace surtain just need a little better than jobe so we dont have to move jobe to the other side..
