1. Will Muschamp - my first choice. Intensity, great defense, and knows what personnel it takes. Connection to Saban. Our players wouldn’t be as quick to hit the portal.
2. Manny Diaz - has been in the SEC. Understands what it takes to put a good product on the field. Improved Penn State’s D (he’s at Duke, I didn’t know this)
Actual 2. Charlie Strong. There’s a reason Saban never put him in an on-field role or in the DC spot itself, so I’m not sure what happened there, but he’s been an analyst for 2-3 years hasn’t he? I know what he’s capable of defensively, so he would be a good option.

Manny Diaz
Doubt he will be giving up the job as head coach at Duke to come be our DC.

Give me Charlie Strong. Ties the south and has experience with our defense.

Manny Diaz is now the HC at Duke. Watch football outside of Alabama any?

Go get Schumann. Let Kirby know artillery fire can come from both directions. He might be ready to have his own defense at his alma mater

I mean, I sure as hell would!

First call is to see how happy Minter is in Ann Arbor.
Then Schumann.
Then Schumann.

Iowa dude with zero experience in the south...

So the guy who just stepped down at UGA to spend time with family and the guy who just got hired to be the head coach of Duke. Those sound like wonderful options.
Got anymore bright ideas?

i definitely be backing up the money truck to Schumann, for one to frick with Smart. You want Robinson, here he can be your DC for the first time in his career. Plus Schumann is a good coach and recruiter

I agree I’d offer Minter and him first, I don’t hate the getting the CO DC or even both from UW. I wonder if we could nab Gibson or Knowles?

This is the answer.

100% this. This is the absolute ideal move if it can be pulled off. Great coach, Bama ties, elite recruiter, weaken an opponent.
DeBoer should throw $500k raise at him and make him say no.

Would love to see it but I feel like Kirby has him locked down other than if there’s a HC job he gets offered.

I agree probably a stretch. I think they are really trying to get Parker.

I think Schumann will do exactly what Kirby did and wait for a long time until the right job comes up.

Only reason I don’t think Schumann would bite is it’s a lateral move and a risk on his part to work with a coach that hasn’t proven he can win in the SEC yet. (Not saying I don’t think DeBoer can, but, playing devil’s advocate here) it makes more sense for him to stay where he is under Kirby and then hold out for a HC job that is clearly a promotion, instead of opting for a lateral move.

I think you bring in the best DC coach you can, then surround him with fantastic recruiters. Wouldn't bother me if we parked Pruitt there and just didn't allow him to talk to recruits. Just coach the hell out of the D.
