Saban completes reworked Alabama coaching staff after several departures-coachingsearch/rbrrber opWe know it’s been an unusual year of offseason moves for the staff, but this chart really breaks it down — half of Alabama’s coaches were released or reassigned. And, that doesn’t include three other losses in admin and analyst roles. Is Saban gearing up for one more fundamental revamp of the program as he begins the final few campaigns of his career? While it seems so, it’s almost a certainty that this coaching staff will not resemble next year’s: there still seem to be many temporary-type coaches or experiments, not to mention coaches in line for promotions elsewhere (Locksley, Ansley, Werner, perhaps Pruitt come to mind immediately.)
n addition, director of player development Freddie Roach became Ole Miss’ defensive line coach, director of football operations Justin Dickens left the program, and graduate assistant Clint Trickett became FAU’s tight ends coach (after only a few weeks on staff).
This sounds more like an imprint of Saban’s early teaching than vice-versa, no? You can’t begin your career with Nick and then work for Bellichik without being supremely detail-oriented. rbr op"He's a phenomenal coach, one of the best I've been around," Bennett said at the start of the Patriots' playoff run. "Always prepared. Preparation is key. I've been in the league going on my 10th year now, and he's helped me grow as a player tremendously. He's invested in me, and I'm invested in him, and we have a great relationship together."
