Cristobal coaches tackles and TEs. Key coaches the interior.I was under the impression that is what we've already done with MC just coaching the TEs. So who is coaching the interior?

Stoutland was also legit. No Pendry, but legit.I don't think our OL coaches are bad. But I do think Pendry was the best.
He actually out-graded Robinson on a regular basis...CRob was a mystery this year. I don't remember him having these problems even as a true freshman.
He was generally good in pass protection, great in run blocking, especially down field, but then he was good for a couple of false starts a game.
Assuming JW changes over to LT and I don't remember him having but maybe a couple of penalties all year long.
From everything I've read, Stoutland could coach the guys but he couldn't scout very well, which is why we saw the drop off in 2013 and 2014.Stoutland was also legit. No Pendry, but legit.
That and he wasn't much of a recruiter either. Hated it, although I think more coaches than we realize do...From everything I've read, Stoutland could coach the guys but he couldn't scout very well, which is why we saw the drop off in 2013 and 2014.
I could never do it. Too much of an introvert. I've always wondered how an introverted personality type could ever succeed in collegiate coaching due to the recruiting aspect.That and he wasn't much of a recruiter either. Hated it, although I think more coaches than we realize do...
Here's the thing with introverts succeeding in a field where being extroverted is a requirement. Most of them are able to "turn it on" when they have to. Meaning, if in doing their job they enter into a situation that requires being extroverted. They are able to do so. Granted, it is highly uncomfortable for most, it emotionally and many times physically drains them to be in the situation. But they are able to do it to get the job done. I know several HIGHLY successful people in very socially demanding jobs like this. I get the feeling Saban is this way. He does what he has to do to get the job done. Being warm and fuzzy with the media isn't a requirement of getting the job done.I could never do it. Too much of an introvert.

*edited to add: I've often thought a lot of Nick Saban's issues with the media were actually because he was a bit of an introvert. It seems like he or Terry has even alluded to that in the past but I may be misremembering.
