re: Official Alabama assistant coaching search thread: staff complete Edition

One area in which Kuligowski struggled was recruiting. He missed on several targets this past cycle, which was more noticeable due to the many departures from the roster to graduation and the NFL. Even with that being the case, Kuligowski is unquestionably one of the best coaches and talent developers at the DL position in all of football, so his departure will be felt by the Canes.
A (relative) lack of recruiting prowess makes him an interesting add to Saban’s staff on the heels of the Tide losing the firm grasp they’ve had on the No. 1 recruiting rankings. To be clear, Alabama’s stranglehold on the sport probably isn’t letting up as long as Saban’s in charge, but it’s a thing to note in the broader context of the staff Saban’s trying to build.

The talent base available to Kuligowski at Alabama is much better than at Missouri and similar to that at Miami. Either way, he’s proven he can work with whatever you give him to craft a great DL.
