JessN: Assistant coach hiring tracker...

UPDATE 1:38 p.m. Jan. 15

Removed Travaris Robinson from the CB list. Added Jim Leonhard, the former Wisconsin head coach. He has an extensive defensive backs and defensive coordinator resume that includes stops in both college and the NFL. He is currently an analyst at Illinois.

Also edited Kane Wommack's entry somewhat. That one may have more legs than I originally thought.

Wommack did a great job as head coach at So. Alabama last year. They really should have beaten UCLA. Team was down some this year but won their first bowl game. He makes about $810,000 per year so he would make a lot more money as coordinator at Bama. His defenses at Indiana were very good.

I didn't realize he was the HEAD coach. That sounds like something Saban would do. Bring him in

Wommack’s father, Dave, was also DC at Ole Miss under Freeze. Before he was at Indiana, Kane was a GA and DB coach for his father at OM. He has a lot of connections in the south and has been very good pulling players in the portal.
I think recruiting would translate well for him and his defenses have been solid.

Not sure if he's my favorite on the board but he's a sold option if its realistic
 
Dave Wommack was an analyst for us for a season after Freeze was let go.

Love this staff so far. I don't think we're gonna have any problems whatsoever recruiting. Roach and Gillespie are both excellent recruiters. Hopefully Durkin will be bold soon, and a DC who can also recruit. I think a lot of the people who doubt DeBeor's ability to recruit are going to have their minds put at ease very soon.

UPDATE:

Added Karl Scott, former Alabama DB coach, to the CB list. He was most recently with the Seattle Seahawks and is now on the market since Pete Carroll retired.
Was really hoping we'd see this one. Arguably as good a DB coach as TRob or better and as good a recruiter.

Developed so many of our DBs in the NFL now.

Didn't think he'd leave the league. This would be a great hire and may have the same impact on the roster as if TRob had come back

He and Womack as a combo would make me very comfortable
