If Kirby Smart took an offer as a Head Coach. Do any of you think Saban would consider bringing Sal Sunseri back as DC? I know he had a rough season at 10rc, but they don't have the talent or the know how to run the 3-4 defense.:BigA:
$,$$$,$$$I would love to have him back on the staff, but I see no openings. I for one think Kirby last name fits him - Smart. Why take a dead end job when you will be one of the highest paid assistants in college football.
A coordinator fits his scheme to his talent. Did he do that at UT?I would like him back as a position coach. Its hard to tell if he's really that bad as a DC. He's trying to run Saban's defense with a bunch of awful players at Tennessee.
So UT defense is all on the players?I would like him back as a position coach. Its hard to tell if he's really that bad as a DC. He's trying to run Saban's defense with a bunch of awful players at Tennessee.
He was an excellent recruiter as well.I might be completely off base in my view, but I've always seen Sunseri as a fantastic position coach... not a coordinator.
I have connection to someone that covers Alabama Football. It's a name pretty much everyone on Tide Fans knows. He told me Sal will never be DC at Alabama as long as CNS is our head coach. He said CNS views Sal as an excellent position coach and recruiter. He went on to say that Sal knew this, Dooley offered him the DC coordinator position at Tennessee and a raise so Sal took it.If Kirby Smart took an offer as a Head Coach.

He had NO talent, so the scheme was irrelevant I for one think Sal would make an awesome Hire as DC, He is a proven winner, and anyone that was labeled assistant head coach by saban , has to have the credentials necessary to be a good coordinator. He is also familiar with the system, the players, and would make for an easy transition. I for one think it makes total sense.A coordinator fits his scheme to his talent. Did he do that at UT?
It's not going to happen at Alabama under CNS. He may well end up back at Alabama as a position coach, but it won't be as DC. It has nothing to do with Sal's results as DC at UT.
