Scott Cochran is Leaving for Georgia

[Bama Shoals]

I just saw this posted on TiderInsider as a preview. Anyone heard anything about this? The preview says he was offered an off-the-field position by Smart.

Publisher Note: Confirmed:

Scott Cochran leaving Alabama for Georgia

Scott Cochran, arguably the most important part of Alabama football beyond Nick Saban, will leave for an SEC rival to work for one of Nick Saban’s proteges.

SO.TIRED.OF.GEORGIA!!!
Seriously, I think they may have just passed the pumpkins and the boogs...They want to be us soooo badly. It's like invasion of the bodysnatchers...ANGRY if true...

Earle, you hearing anything??

There`s been talk/speculation off and on for a while that this might occur. I think CSC and Kirby were/are buds(?). Have to admit it makes me wonder a bit concerning CSC`s judgement of character abilities if accurate. So...if this is accurate it`s not a complete surprise, albeit disappointing.

al.com reporting it, special teams coach at Georgia. Interesting development, especially in wake of the last two years of injury issues.

Saban won't win another title now

Hate to hear it but maybe a change here with a new approach will be good.

 

[MDBSnare]

Well crap....but maybe some youth is needed at the S&C coach position....idk

Hope we beat the brakes off them this year. Wonder how Saban truly feels about Smart these days

Hmm, maybe be something to this.

watch the Oregon SC or Mustache man going forward this will happen (whoever it is ) very very quickly

I loved the guy, but I also welcome the change

Well, CSC has no pedigree as an on the field coach so I am not sure how this hire helps UGA. Not helping yourself doesn't close the gap by trying to make Bama weaker.

Assuming this is true, with so many outlets reporting, we've heard doom and gloom with so many departures. People have been dancing on our graves since 2010. I admit Cochran leaving is a blow, but it doesn't have to be, if he's replaced well. I'm almost wondering how good of a ST coach he'll be. Kirby maybe should be careful, he might actually be weakening that third phase of the game.

I will say thanks, Scott, for your contributions to Alabama's run, and thanks for all you did for my son at the Bama football camps over the years. I mean all that, but I still say we hand their rear ends to them Sept. 19 in Tuscaloosa.

Interesting ... not sure what to make of this one. Since this has been up twice now with CKS, it seems like this is something that Cochran has been wanting as well.

I haven't been impressed w/CSC for awhile now. IMHO our S&C needs to a different approach so I'm not sad to see him go.
