#Alabama's made some really strong hires in the past two weeks esp in adding STC Jeff Banks and now Josh Gattis (he's produced 3 All-American WRs in the past 7 YRs). Both are also excellent recruiters.

Penn State's WRs have been fantastic the last few years, and they are not filled with 5-star guys.

Yea I meant more of he has shown to develop guys who aren't necessarily Top 20 players. Now imagine what he will do with Top 20 players (and he can recruit them, too).
Awesome hire.

I am interested to see the recruiting region assignments. Some of them are obvious. Others, not so much.
Man this a recruiting staff.

Saban not screwing around with putting together an elite recruiting staff. 2019 should be fun. Kirby...buckle up pudgy ole friend, things just got a lot tougher!

OC by committee. The CEO(Saban) decided to create an OC BoD to to create a think tank on how to dominate the opposition

Guys, I turned down the chance to be co-offensive coordinator for Bama. I told Saban there was no way I would co coordinate with 6 other OCs. I draw the line at 5. I'm going to take my talents to Madden.

Chip's breaking point was 3 OCs. He's a diva

Obviously Lock is the OC. Saban just handing out titles in order to poach other staffs. Good on Saban. Let's get to recruiting.

Alabama football: Crimson Tide reportedly hires new co-OC, WRs coach
quote:
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — With news of Mike Locksley becoming the next offensive coordinator for Alabama football, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban is still working to fill out the rest of the coaching staff.
Alabama has reportedly hired Josh Gattis as its new wide receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator, according to Football Scoop and Bruce Feldman.
Gattis served as the wide receivers coach and passing-game coordinator at Penn State. Gattis spent the past four seasons at Penn State and also worked two seasons on James Franklin’s staff at Vanderbilt before that. While at Vanderbilt, Gattis served as Franklin’s recruiting coordinator and he assists with special teams at Penn State.
Alabama’s offensive staff currently has Mike Locksley as offensive coordinator, Burton Burns at running backs coach and Gattis at wide receivers coach.
Gattis was Scout.com 2015 recruiter of the year.

Was told last night that Bama found out more on freeze, may make him a non option. Will see what happens.
I kind of doubted that was going to work out anyway. May be for the best.

I'm excited about Gattis. Penn St. folks seem crushed by this news

Penn State losing top assistant to Alabama
Gattis is currently the No. 14 recruiter in 247Sports national ranking of coaches.
quote:
Penn State passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach Josh Gattis will be taking an assistant coaching job at Alabama, sources have confirmed to Lions247. Gattis came to Penn State with James Franklin and spent the last four years developing the Nittany Lions’ wideouts into one of the top groups in the country.
A former safety at Wake Forest, Gattis as also had coaching stops at Western Michigan and Vanderbilt. He was also Penn State’s offensive recruiting coordinator and assisted with special teams during his time in Happy Valley.
Gattis was among the top recruiters on the Penn State staff during his tenure. He signed one of the nation’s top wide receivers classes in December, led by the nation’s top player at the position in five-star Justin Shorter. He is currently the No. 14 coach in the 247Sports recruiter rankings for the Class of 2018 and is the No. 5 recruiter in the Big Ten. He was the 2015 Scout.com recruiter of the year.
On Gattis’ watch, Chris Godwin posted back-to-back All-Big Ten seasons before forgoing his senior year to enter the NFL draft, where he was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third round. Recently-graduated receiver DaeSean Hamilton left the program as the school’s all-time leader in receptions.
