I would assume this means Enos will likely be staying at Bama and getting the OC title, but we shall see.

What is the deal with Matt Canada?

Does he just not play well with others?

You have to assume this will hurt our DC area recruiting as fast. Don't we have a couple already committed for this cycle and 2020?

Cool. Promote Dan Enos to OC and we'll be fine.

The rumor is he's a complete a-hole and yes difficult to work with. LSU fans who hate Orgeron will disagree, but that seems to be his track record.

It's possible but I wouldn't be so sure about that. Locklsey is obviously a huge deal in that area and has helped us out a lot, but we aren't exactly on Maryland's level, have historically recruited that area well under Saban prior to Locklsey's hiring, and still have guys like Gattis on staff, not to mention an opening to fill.

I personally don't think we'll see all that much turnover, but it certainly does sting a bit in that particular region.

Alabama will promote from within. Dan Enos and Josh Gattis will be co-OCs. Hire another offensive assistant.

I would expect him to. But not everyone can handle two roles at once.

I liked the hire for about a game, then it was apparent that all the shifting was window dressing for a very basic offense. I think the only reason LSU fans defended him was due to their hate for Orgeron. If you actually look into his offenses, he's really only been better than average in like 2 of 12-13 years he's been an OC. And regardless of their situation, Maryland had fewer than 200 yards of offense in multiple games this year IIRC. On top of that, rumor was Aranda couldn't stand him which is pretty telling to me.

Enos is the reason for Bama, Tua and Jalen's success on offense.

Maryland just gave up. An OC that made his living off Tua and Hurts. About like hiring Chizik because he won a NC with Cam.
