To switch a gear for a moment: I was looking at the coaching staff and the support team:

Right now, We have as follow:

Shepard- WR
Gillespie-RB
Hitschler-Co DC/DB
Linguist -Co-DC/DB
Ellis-TE
Kapilovic-OL
Robinson-OLB
Nunez- Special assistant to HC/ ST Senior analyst.

Then you go to support staff section. We see Allen, Ballou,
McKeefery (Special assistant to HC),
Morgan -GM
Chuck Morrell- Special assistant to HC.


That caught me off guard. Why do we have three special assistants to HC?

The analysts for the teams are as followings:

Jamey Mosely– Football analyst

Mosley returns to the staff as an analyst. He played football at Alabama, winning national titles as a linebacker in 2015 and 2017.

Mitch Dahlen– Football analyst

Dahlen follows DeBoer to Tuscaloosa from Washington. He was an offensive quality control assistant for the Huskies.

He also worked for DeBeor at Fresno State. He played quarterback at Utah and Southern Utah.


Matt Shadeed– Football analyst

Shadeed comes to Alabama as an analyst after working under Wommack at South Alabama. He was assistant head coach and director of athletic performance for the Jaguars.

Other stops for Shadeed have included LSU, Ole Miss, Arkansas State and Baylor.


Ryan Trevathan– Football analyst

Last season, Trevathan was working as the offensive coordinator for Northeast Mississippi Community College. Now, he’ll move up in program prestige as an analyst for Alabama.


Trevathan’s resume is dotted with junior college experience in the south. He also worked as a graduate assistant at Ole Miss


Kirk Barron– Football analyst

Barron’s social media lists him as working with the Crimson Tide’s offensive line. He played the position himself in college, as a two-time captain at Purdue.


Mark Sheridan– Football analyst

Sheridan is the brother of Alabama offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Nick Sheridan. He previously worked at Virginia.


Why do we have six analysts on the staff?

I want to focus on this:
Hitschler-Co DC/DB
Linguist -Co-DC/DB

We've heard a lot from Linguist throughout the season, have we? We really haven't heard much from Hitschler. I'm willing to bet that Hitschler move on and Morrell slides into his position.

I think we will end up letting go almost all of the analysts and Mark Sheridan is one of them.
We certainly have alot of them

You’re not wrong!!!…but could you imagine the blowback?
Who cares, he is almost single handedly destroying this program. 17yrs of greatness flushed down the toilet for one player’s ego and bank account. I said it multiple times dating back to early last season. It’s more important to cut out cancer than it is to manage it. As the incoming coach, DeBoer should have ripped the bandaid off. Yet here we are. If he can’t do it yet again, another season will be destroyed, we will lose even more players, and it will be even harder to build a championship level program again.

He hasn't, and everybody knows it. On the rare occasion he gets into the game none of the 1's are with him. At least I haven't seen any.
I was just thinking, how many 1st quarter snaps has Simpson gotten with the first string over the last two years. I think none or just a handful.
Normally, when he gets in a game, Bama is already up big and it is late in the game.
