Just spoke to a good source and barring something unexpected I expect David Ballou to be named Alabama's strength coach by the middle of next week but it could be earlier. Dr. Matt Rhea is expected to come with Ballou with Rhea being more of a speed guy I believe. They are a package deal I'm told.
Also hearing from reliable sources near Ballou that he has informed some people (I'm not sure if all have been told) at IU that he is expected to leave for UA, and have another source saying there should be announcement sooner rather than later. Again barring something unexpected but at this stage it sounds like most of the details are worked out.
EDIT: I would like to add that every person I spoke to this week around college programs said that this duo is the best in college football. Bar none and it isn't close. I've also spoken to a few college coaches that tell me both, but especially Ballou, are formidable on the recruiting trail.
Also as I said in a thread earlier today and a few times this week there were some guys mentioned as targets who apparently never were among the top choices for Saban. But he did do a lot of research for this role.
Still digging for more. -- TWatts
