Finally have an OL coach (Chris Kapilovic) and TE coach (Bryan Ellis).

Now its time to start getting recruits to come.

A first time head coach with a def background hiring a college offensive coordinator with zero nfl experience and a college o line coach with zero nfl experience is still pretty baffling to me. Especially when your qb is an aging geno smith. I mean….could work if your owner is a very patient man but i’d put my money on this backfiring spectacularly.

And by the NFL rumor mill they may get rid of Geno and go younger at QB. Macdonald is either making genius moves or completely screwing it up before it even begins.

Alabama Football adds star defensive back they hope to replace the now departed Caleb Downs

Alabama has found their Caleb Downs replacement in the form of Michigan transfer and star safety Keon Sabb.

Fully replacing all-conference safety Caleb Downs might seem impossible, but if the Crimson Tide were going to even come close they needed someone exactly like Keon Sabb.

As good as Downs is and will be, there aren't many "irreplaceable" players in sports.

I agree on Downs. It's not like we are going from a hundred to zero after losing him. Keon may be in the 80-90 range, but he is still good. We'll be fine.

Below is an article I had just come across on my phone that may give you an idea of what the staff is doing to ensure the transition is as seamless as possible (even though I'm sure they know as we all know it will not be perfectly seamless). *Spoiler Alert it is about Coach Saban*

I think this is good news

I think that Downs is the best player in college football, but even Saban was replaced. The game moves on.

He was our best player for sure.

That is awesome! Happy belated!

The best news may be that we have a hungry bunch of top notch coaches pushing a group of superior athletes into a hard nosed team with a chip on it's shoulder.

I think this is good news as well though not directly related to this year's team.

Lane Kiffin to hire former Alabama star as an analyst, per report

Ole Miss is expected to hire William Vlachos as an analyst.

Will coached at Buffalo with Daboll then Colorado with Mel Tucker. He was with McElwain at Central Mich then Western Kentucky last year. Being on Kiffen's staff should be really good for the career of Saban's first Center at Bama that defied the odds.

CKD is 3-0 against Auburn in recruit they said he out recruit Hugh Freeze.

Who is Downs?

Went to Tennessee this weekend for a camping trip. Witnessed a local kill a racoon, butcher it on the pavement by their truck and BarBQ it on the tailgate with a wood fired grill. Have pictures, won't post them due to liability concerns, but the UT jokes just write themselves.

Right there on the roadside?!?

Maybe that's why they wear so much orange...
