The name Chip Long has come up a lot.. and I"m not sure if it's legit or not: https://www.onefootdown.com/2018/1/...t-offensive-coordinator-at-alabama-nick-saban

I wouldn't mind the Chip Long hire. He's a young guy who may OC here for 3-4 years before taking an CFB HC or NFL coordinator job. He has done nothing but succeed as a playcaller.
He's a defensive coach and considered a bright young mind in setting defensive coverage in the secondary.
Ok, fine. I'll do it.
It should be simple enough.
Run, pass, run run. TD. Championship, etc etc - right?
And just to be extra sure I'm getting it right I'll just check the Tidefans game forum during each series to get some input and run the plays y'all want, that way I'll be SURE to succeed.

When I heard the Daboll news, I thought this was the "natural promotion" as he knows what Saban wants and the personnel we have across the board.
He's on the staff. Likely named co defensive coordinator with tosh

He especially needs to consult the game threads and post-game threads for after game self scouting.
FWIW, the ND insiders are saying that he's gone if we make an offer. He's from Birmingham.
Yeah, sec country has a link up about that too

LOL.
Seriously though, I think it was you who pointed out some team was going to get a really good OC at a bargain in Freeze. You're 100% correct on that. I just hope its not Bama. Ive seen some on Twitter compare Freeze's situation to to Kiffin's or Sark. Those two circumstances are not even in the same stratosphere, especially in regards to the NCAA.
With the win the other night, coach has flexibility to handle this transition in ways he would not have if we either lost or won with Jalen finishing the game.
Coach knows and we have heard that recruiting needs a reboot certainly to compete in the SEC against all the guys who learned the Process from him.
The guys we are going to win with over the next couple of years are already on the roster. This current recruiting class was already going to be small anyway. So this was the year to make the changes if they needed to be made. Given all uncertainty I don't know how much more we can do on the recruiting trail and hold what we have until after NSD.
After then, focus on getting the staff in here that will get us through the next 3-4 years that can start targeting next year's critical recruiting class where we will need players at all positions.
This whole transition has the feel of what I have read about CPB's transition to the wishbone which reenergized the last half of his coaching career. The win the other night and how the staff is reassembled will likely dictate how much longer coach stays in the game. I sense he feels a weight has been lifted and is looking forward to a few more years in the sideline.

I'm betting Chip Long or Mike Locksley at this juncture. I bet a choice will be made quickly because of the home stretch of recruiting.
I would be very disappointed if Coach made this move. I am ok if Saban wants to give the guy a shot at being an analyst just to keep him busy and engaged, but please don't bring into contact with our kids as a coach.
Not sure what the make of this, so I will leave this without comment.
Chip Long To Be The Next Offensive Coordinator At Alabama?
I do not recall ND's ofensie being particularly effective last year.
