re: Per Brock Huard, DeBoer will likely bring much of his staff to Alabama

Didn’t harsin do something similar

Yes, except he was “encouraged” to hire/keep some staff….Etheridge and Caddy were retained, and he hired Bobo and Mason for the SEC experience.

It blew up epically. Never a good situation when a school is dictating staff to a new coach….kinda like what Bama appears to be doing with DeBoer.

Success of a team depends a lot on how the staff meshes and works together. Bama should step back and let DeBoer hire who he wants but they won’t….they are reverting right back to pre Saban days where boosters had their hands all in the program. Saban told them to frick off, but he had the clout to do that. DeBoer won’t.
