Suttles tweeted it first, and now Bruce Feldman tweeting it.

Freddie has served as the Director of Player Development for Bama.

Saban has encouraged people to leave and get some experience before coming back to Alabama. I wouldn't be shocked to see Roach as DC sometime in next two years.

Freddie loves Alabama, but he knew he might have to leave. But he will most definitely be back if given the opportunity. RTR Freddie!

I hope he gets a chance to come back, but it will probably be as an on field position coach before as a DC.

He was friends with my wife in high school. She has an extremely high opinion of him. Apparently, he has always been a super nice and down to earth person.

Freddie Roach was hands down the best MLB I played against in HS. He also took a KO to the house against us too. (His brother was a better football player though. Blew a shoulder out when came to Bama as a WR).

Glad to see he's getting a big time shot.

One more FR story- we played them in the regional finals @ Wallace St in basketball. The ball hit off the back of the rim and bounced to about the top line of the center square. FR jumped up, palmed it, and dunked it. It was freaking amazing. He was a great athlete

FR best be careful or he will get caught up in that mess at Ol Miss and when Hugh Freeze gets run off then FR will be without a job and on his resume will have 'coached at Ol Miss' .

Great for Freddie!! Could not be happier for him. Just hate to think of one of our guys going anywhere near that place and the people associated with it.
