I'm pumped that CKS is going to finish the season, but any new info on his replacement? I heard Pruitt then nothing. I was expecting to here something today or maybe this week.
Question: Any fresh news on new DC

It is too early to figure out who is our new DC. I would imagine that Saban would want one in place before the dead period ends. Word on the twitter is that Tucker, Preuitt and Collins ( Florida DC) are on the list to replace Smart.... There have been so many debates on this in the other thread, and all I can say is that I think in my opinion it's between Pruitt and Tucker. Tucker is rumored to want to go back to NFL because of pension. This is how I think it could play out...
Saban hires Collins from Florida, McEwlain get Pruitt. Win-Win Situation.
Saban hires Pruitt, McEwlain. Win-Win Situation.
Saban hires Pruitt, get a new position coach that can coach LBs or Safety. probably someone with NFL experience. Win-Win Situation.
Saban promotes Mel Tucker to DC, Pruitt ends up with Michigan. Win-Lose Situation...
Bottom line..i think we'll know something by maybe next week...

Why would Collins leave UF for Alabama? I do get the feeling that Tucker will be headed back to the NFL and not a long term hire.
I honestly don't think CNS wouldn't have hired him if that were the case. Folks said the said thing about Saban.
Speaking of Kiffin, I haven't heard his name mentioned for any of the openings recently. Some folks think he's done with us after this year, but if he's going to take a HC job somewhere you would think his name would be in the mix somewhere by now.
Last year the consensus opinion was that he would probably go back to the NFL as an OC. His name was in the mix for at least one OC job (San Francisco?) so his name may start to come up after the NFL seasons ends.
based on what I saw on twitter and BOL... seems like.. no. I'm not going to comment on something that may not be true. I'll wait for it to come out, since all we do is speculate on Kiffin's future and I think we've had enough of Kiffin debate.
Back to DC potential candidate: Collins isnt a bad hire, and yes I understand it could be a lateral move, but Collins could be more comfortable with Saban than McElwain... But theyre not going to do McElwain dirty... I wouldnt be suprised if Saban waits til after NFL season to hire someone...

Worth remember Collins was on Bama's staff in 2007. He also didn't go away from much of what Muschamp already had at Florida. Therefore, the transition wouldn't be nearly as bad as bringing in someone not at all familiar with the system.
If I were about to have Blake Barnett throwing to Ridley, Stewart, and Foster, I might not be in a big rush to leave.
This^^^^ and facing USC to open the season next year. I haven't seen any jobs that would make me jump if I were him. Although I could understand if he wants to get back to the west coast.
The folks here in the know have said numerous times he won't be back and it's not his choice. I think I'll trust them on this one.
My guess is that it will be either someone on staff right now or someone completely out of left field.
