Butch can’t even remain the most talented analyst for more than a week. That’s cold Saban.

Alabama is like the Lazarus Pit for coaching careers

Dumb question, but do all schools have 4,000,000 analysts like Alabama? Seems like every week they are adding another retread. Maybe that is why they beat everyone down......well save for Auburn.

If we don't LET auburn win every 10 years or so they get mad and will not speak.

I'm fairly certain Alabama has way more than most any other school

Nope, by SEC standards they don't have way more than a lot of other schools.
Here is an Orlando Sentinel story from last summer.
Bama and UGA had 29 support positions, USCe had 25, Florida and LSU had 23. Even Vandy had 21. The story doesn't look at non-SEC programs but I strongly suspect most of the P5 are similarly staffed.
Bama gets the press for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that Saban's reputation lets him fill those spots with very high profile names. Guys that had either performance or personal failures at other places will work for Nick at chicken-feed pay levels (by coaching standards) because they know if they succeed there it will be a chance at career rehab. The second reason is because, well, Alabama. Anything Saban does gets magnified in the public eye.
Edited to add: Several of Bama's analysts took on the field jobs at other schools so these recent hires are filling a bunch of vacant slots.

Saban was getting the same results before this huge staff of his.
If you're a .500 coach a bigger staff isn't going to make you into a championship contending coach, as the post above me demonstrated well. The quality of the HC and his support matters more than anything else. A staff of lackluster coaches will produce lackluster results, I don't care if you have 100 analysts. Garbage in garbage out.

No, ex-Raider. You can recover from the other three.

LSU is bordering on that 10 year mark as well 
Not sure why I was downvoted for a simple question of which no one actually answered.

I'm guessing it's attention bias. The sports sites pay close attention to anything Saban does, and the fact that he likes collecting big(gish) names drives the interest even further. But you can bet if Saban is doing it, most every other program is going that direction too. We just don't hear as much about their hires.

It's chicken feed by ANY standards. I think analysts are paid in the range of $30k per year. Many of them are still working on contracts from other jobs.

I believe UGA has more analysts.

And the Bama analyst/intern program continues to grow with hire of long time NFL asst coach and former UCLA DC under Mora...
quote:
The Crimson Tide has hired longtime NFL assistant Lou Spanos in an analyst role, according to AL.com.
Spanos joins former Tennessee head coach Butch Jones as one of Alabama's newest off-the-field coaches. Spanos has served as an NFL assistant all but two seasons since 1995, working with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Redskins and the last four years with the Tennessee Titans as the franchise's linebackers coach.
