Is that 7 of 9 "on the field" coaches confirmed?

Thanks for the scoop XXL!

Pardon my ignorance...I'm assuming this guy is good?

Thanks for the scoop XXL!

That's me first scoop!

He appears to be but he is VERY young. 28 I think.

No, he's bad. That's why we hired him.

Pardon my ignorance...I'm assuming this guy is good?

I think so, he helped guide Rice to the NO Bowl this year and everyone knows their recent history...

Second source...

I for one am happy about this.

So will he be the OC or the co-OC? If he is the OC, does that mean that we will run the same offense that Rice ran this year? Because I would think that MA's spread scheme would clash with CNS's power I.

The Sabanator, Satan, Nicky Satin (my favorite sounds like he works for the Godfather) Slinky, and about 20 others that I can't recall seems to think that he was good enough to offer the reins.

Glad to see a young inovative mind leading the O.The players will really be able to relate to Major.

 

[Jack Bourbon]

Doesn't hurt that we have two Texas guys.

Actually, bayou linked this about 30 minutes before you created this thread in the other Applewhite thread. Still, thanks for the link...

Roll Tide and Hook 'em, Horns!

Welcome to Tuscaloosa!

This kid must be something special. Graduated in '02, grad assistant at Texas during the '03 and '04 seasons, QB coach at Syracuse in '05, OC at Rice in '06, and now Bama, after allegedly being sought by LSU.

We certainly have an interesting mix of offensive coaches. Pendry and Marshall have been around for a lotta years, Middleton's fairly young, and Applewhite is the baby of the crew. I suppose we're in the market for a WR coach and probably a RB coach now.

I'm interested in how all this is gonna shake out!

Unless you're assuming that Coach Saban doesn't know what the hell he's doing?

Lol, gotta engineer that perfect backhanded retort, huh, TM?
