He is still adding to his "off the field" staff.
Nick Saban is ahead of the game.
Does that surprise you?
CoachingSearch.com has learned that Saban, in recent days, has hired several veteran coaches in perceived low level quality control, analyst, intern, grad assistant type of positions.
This morning, we reported on the Coaching Search Ticker that former Ashland University defensive backs coach Joe Palcic has joined the Alabama staff.
Get this.... Palcic actually recently accepted the special teams coordinator job at Miami (OH), his alma mater. He decided, however, to resign in favor of joining Saban's staff at Alabama.
Palcic previously served as the co-defensive coordinator / defensive backs coach at Indiana from 2005 - 2010. He also coached at Miami (OH) from 1999 - 2004 in various roles such as co-defensive coordinator / corners coach, linebackers coach, special teams coach, and defensive backs coach.
Earlier this week, CoachingSearch.com learned that former Northwestern State tight ends / special teams coordinator / assistant head coach Brendan Farrell and former Jacksonville State offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Ronnie Letson had accepted quality control type of positions at Alabama. To put this in perspective, Letson is an experienced offensive coordinator who was once a grad assistant at Ole Miss a decade ago. In fact, I actually replaced Letson in the grad assistant position on David Cutcliffe's staff when Letson left Ole Miss.

Yeah...Mack Brown was bitching about this. He's pissed that the SEC is starting to branch out into Texas for recruits. Dude is lazy.

By 2014, the SEC football teams will have one coach per player. Except for State.

If I post it on the Bama board, all I can do is FAP. But if I post it here, then I can FAP in front of rival fans.

So he is doing what a lot of teams are doing?
Big 10/Urbs are pissed about the new rules change, so is UGA's AD

Pretty crazy that coaches will leave on-field coaching positions to work in quality control type positions under Saban

Why do you have a sig picture of an illegal chop block by two Alabama offensive lineman that once again was overlooked by the officials?

Meh, its still a resume builder, and who knows how far these new roles could go. could be great money in the future with less direct accountability to be fired, like with an on the field position

Already there. We were supposed to hire a on site recruiting coordinator to lead a 3-4 man team. We've only hired the coordinator. Again, buncha cheap bastards

Yeah, that's odd. If you're going to expand staff to keep up, recruiting ought to be the first area.

Agreed, but that costs money. There's a reason why UGA is usually in the top three in the nation for margin. We'll bring in the money but we don't spend it on our programs like we should. We're in an arms race and we're buying Patriot Missiles while everyone else is upgrading to Daisy Cutters or Tactical Nukes.
