Coaching carousel 2025-26

Honestly, I don't know if I would go that far. Robert Gillespie. I have mixed opinions. I never did liked the hire by Saban and I thought he should've been let go when CKD took over and my opinion still stand. Imo, he should've stayed as Graduate assistant little longer before taking a RB job. From there, his stays at SC, Oklahoma State, and west Virginia was never no more than 2 years. Then he stayed 4 years at TN and then 2 years at NC before coming to Alabama. Been there since 2021. I feel like he's a decent coach and getting better somewhat, but he's not a development coach. He's a guy who can take experienced RBs and make them better.

I hope we replace him, but I don't see this as likely. He would be better off going around the country and go sit with few coaches this summer and learn few things. I hope Roach does the same thing as well. Roach definitely got better and I think he will continue to do so. I think there's one more change left ... Jay Nunez. I don't know what they will do with him, but something has to change there.

One thing to note... If we don't make any more changes at coaching positions, don't be upset. It's likely they could hire better supporting assistant/analyst coaches that can make the coordinator coach better. Upgrade our analysts and supporting staff and I think we'll be okay.
But isn’t Nunez like an off the field coach and another coach handles gamedays? I seem to remember reading that somewhere
