Just wondering what everyone is hearing on the staff change front. I know Kevin Steele is rumored to be in the mix for DC at LSU. It wouldn't shock me if McElwain/Nuss tried to grab somebody from us if they saw a good fit. I haven't heard any rumors of CNS forcing any changes. I know that clamor to get rid of (or reassign) Bobby Williams got loud after the Arkansas game, but it seems to have calmed down and he has a really close bond with CNS as I understand it.
Question: Any Bama staff changes?

I would love to see a new D-line coach. I feel like we probably have the most talented line in the nation, yet they aren't getting coached up as well. Just like how Wallace Gilberry and Quinton Dial had mediocre careers at Alabama and now they are both doing very well in the NFL. Gilberry went undrafted and Dial went in the 5th round. To me that says we are not making the most of the talent we have.
You are trippin'! Ain't no way Bo gets let go, he's fantastic.
By the way, Gilberry was first team all SEC. That's not mediocre.
I'm not going to name any names but there are a few that I wish would leave. IMHO we have too many recruiters and not enough coaches. Some of the changes that were made in the past couple of years have been puzzling to me and the only explanation that I have is that CNS favors recruiting over coaching ability.
Anyway...I saw rumblings that Les might be interested in interviewing Kevin Steele to replace Chief. We'll see.
And, Gilberry didn't play for Saban. Dial has been gone for 2 years now; Bo Davis was not his position coach. The DL was the obvious strength this year for the defense. Agree, it doesn't make sense to me to push Bo Davis out.
According to the Time-Picayune, Clancy Pendergast is the favorite to get the LSU DC job (and possibly in a package deal with Ed Orgeron as D-line coach), but Coach Steele is also a candidate.
For your reference Gilberry played for Coach Saban in 2007. No way Bo is going anywhere and I agree DL was a strength.
There are issues on the DL but I don't blame them on Bo. It seems like to me we are doing exactly what we have been doing in previous years, signing guys with good speed and bulking them up to the point they can barely move. That also has to hurt their endurance. Our DL was dominant early on last night but then got dominated the rest of the way. I would like to see some of our guys drop at least 15-20 lbs to see what they could do. Both A'Shawn Robinson and Jonathan Allen have both put on too much weight to use their speed effectively, IMHO.
