For the folks who are wondering about all the Alabama coaching changes...

This portion of a Tuscaloosa News article explains it:
"So why all the change this year? R-E-C-R-U-I-T-I-N-G. Saban sees an increasingly tough SEC landscape in which he has to recruit against Fisher/Smart/Muschamp/Pruitt/Etc., and he wasn’t content to stand pat. So, as weird as it looks from the outside, Saban re-evaluated his entire staff after the national title (in fact, he’d been doing it for most of the season). His ability to change when he sees a shift coming in college football or the SEC is part of his greatness."

Why the need to spin?
There is no way Saban wanted Pruitt, Ansley and even Daboll to go. They left for better positions.
I agree he wanted us to change with the small turnover, but not the big ones.

Not spinning....just quoting an article from a guy whose job it is to analyse the football program. I don't think he was insinuating that Saban wanted all these coaches gone, but by our current 2018 recruiting production, I can see why he'd be concerned with the status quo.

Most Alabama fans understand that it doesn't really matter who the coordinators are. We won national championships with every OC and DC since 2008. Even Major Applewhite could have won one if he'd stayed.
I literally don't expend the energy to rub two brain cells together worrying about who the OC and DC are going to be.

FSU has named and OC. This should bode well for Locksley fans....

Alabama has shown that coaching isn't important as long as the best players and officials are bought.

The guy is a bush league shite writer.
He should have had the chops to rank the coaches in order of threat to Saban ... which would have places Kirby first. And using words like "weird" and phrases such as "part of his greatness" are about as rookie as they come.

Bama shows that as long as Nick Saban is head coach we will recruit and win titles. OC and DC are not that crucial, we have won with many different ones. The constant has been Saban and great recruiting, and we have had great recruits under many different OC's and DC's, so it must be Saban and the name Alabama, as that is the one common thread in all of our titles in last decade. Keep blaming refs, no team has it better than a Bama opponent, last year every teamwe played were penalized less in Bama game than any other games they played all year. Look it up, facts kill your ref lie, it actually is the opposite, every tem we played had less calls in bama game than their average number of calls for the entire year. Play us and get the refs on your side not bama's, check the facts. Your little rant has no evidence, it actually is the direct opposite.

How many of you goobs were screaming about the OC being unimportant during the Auburn game and 1st half of the GA game?

Who's even talking about his writing skills?...the content is what is important to this board, and regardless of his literary ineptness, he's around the program nonstop. Posted on 1/17/18 at 2:15 pm to coachcrisp
The author's point is whether the coaches left on their own or not, Saban is replacing them with better recruiters because he sees a tougher recruiting landscape ahead. And he's exactly right.
Saban is also moving the ST coach to an office job to get another ace recruiter on staff and may do the same with our DL coach after NSD. Saban is a lot of things, but being complacent will never be one of them. This will be an A level recruiting staff heading into the next recruiting cycle, there's no doubt about that.

Lane Kiffin tweeted out some things in recent days that made it clear a lot of coaches just don't like shorty Saban

I'm not too sure about Saban wanting Daboll to stay.
Posted on 1/17/18 at 2:20 pm to coachcrisp
My god, are you actually suggesting Daboll didn't leave on his own

Lane Kiffin is probably the most infantile coach in football. There's a reason he keeps getting fired. He's a perpetual frat-boy wanna-be and nobody that's anybody in football gives a flip about anything he thinks or says.
