Coach Saban was known as someone who spent a lot of his time devoted to the program. He also expected it from his assistant coaches, literally everyone in the program. Which I think caused some coaching turnover from assistants that didn't want to devote their entire lives to the program.

Is Deboer along the same lines or will he be "easier" to work for? Will we see more of the Bowden/Andrew's or Dabo/Venerables type of long term loyalty?

His Washington staff had been with him for four years. So we should see less turnover in time.

All depends, if DeBoer has a lot of success assistant coaches will leave. The money will be too great to turn down.

That being said expecting a Saban type of success is unrealistic. So I would expect less turnover

I posted this in another thread but Grubbs and a few other coaches have been with DeBoer since their Sioux Falls days.

Obviously, at Alabama you have a larger spotlight and more visibility which will inevitably mean more jobs, etc. I definitely think there is a sense of brotherhood but I could also see Grubbs and some other folks leave for non-lateral roles (i.e. OC to HC, WR to OC, etc.)
