Link: Jeff Banks joining Sarkisian
- Thread starter AlabamaBEN11
- Start date
Flood and Sark are good friends even before they were on staff at Alabama together. I think Sark probably had Saban’s blessing to take certain staff members with him to Texas because it appears that Saban has had a quick replacement for Flood.
It was rumored yesterday that LSU offered him an interview and he turned it down.What!?!
Need Pruitt to somehow get out of Tennessee and still be hireable right now
I reckon the Golding haters could get their wish. I've been bi-polar on him. We all have to an extent, I guess.What!?!
The two things about departures that always worried me were
A: Would it cost us the championship? Already won the game so that's no longer a concern.
B: Will it mess up recruiting? Alabama has a monster class that's almost completely signed. Also, given the championship and enormous pile of awards the players won, I think that mitigates the pain of losing some coaches. Draft day will reinforce that, you go to Alabama to succeed.
I said a while back that I never put high expectations on the year after a championship until the inevitable point that Alabama ends up in the mix again. 'Bama won, the players won trophies, the draft will be full of 'Bama boys. Why should I care much who leaves? We've seen this all before. Saban is the one constant.
With this massive ncaa investigation going on at Tennessee ... Hell no.
Strong and Scott are good enough.
This right here! Saban has had #1 recruiting classes with completely different staffs many times over his 15 years. And how many of these great recruiters stayed great recruiters after they left Bama? I'm sure they don't get hired at Bama without being good at it, but, with Saban as the closer, they end up looking great.
Not worried about it one bit. If it was a better fit for them personally, then I'd rather they be happy. If it was a character or abilities issue, then I'm glad they're gone. Nobody (not anyone even close) reloads like CNS. We'll be fine.
That's kind of what i meant by still be hireable. That stuff would somehow have to clear him.
But is that not what he did when Kirby was up for the GA DC job shortly before he ended up getting the HC job? Regardless, if Saban wants to keep Goulding, then Goulding is likely staying, imo.
Yeah, you hate to lose those guys because they recruit so well, but I think that forever Saban has been the closer when recruiting. I suspect he will hire some guys who are just as good....... wouldn’t be surprised if Saban doesn’t visit Wheaton personally
Saban has said quite a few times hes fine with guys leaving as long as its a promotion and not a lateral move. I can imagine finding out the night before he leaves is frustrating though
14 straight years of this and we still have people like:
Kirby basically raided our recruiting and took Mel Tucker out of the blue. It really isn’t the same.
I kinda think Golding and Saban have friction and he might want to move on to another staffer like Strong.
I'll believe that when it actually happens. That said, if PG makes the lateral move, it's because Saban's OK with him going (he did publicly say our defense was good but not great). And with Strong and Stoops as analysts, he has ready-made DC's in house if he wants to promote from within or his pick of up-and-comers from outside if he chooses that path.What!?!
Besides, I'd think many on this board would be delighted with the news.....
Mark Richt was still HC and he wanted Kirby as DC, did Saban not block Kirby from taking the laterally job?
There's a thing on the side on "Saturday Down South" that is reporting this. It came from a reporter with InsideTexas.com.
We will know if there is malicious intent behind this if we start hearing of negative recruiting. That popped up with Kirby immediately.
