Could be anything, but adding Strong to Saban's staff in any capacity in 2020 would be a very, very good thing.

He's a presence...Not a fan of some of the stuff he pulled while looking for a HC job...but that was years ago. If he can help the program I'm on board.

He visited florida recently and did same thing. I doubt he will be hired at Alabama at any capacity. I wouldn't be shocked if he was at LSU next week.

I agree...…………...he knows defense. He can be an analyst for awhile

READ THE STINKIN' RULES!

This is the second time in a month, both times from new posters.

I don't know how much clearer to make this.....TideFans doesn't allow profanity, or any variation on spelling and/or punctuation, in an attempt to circumvent the profanity filters.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Strong ended up on the staff as an analyst. We have a history of rehabbing former head coaches all of whom go onto great gigs after a couple of years. The Bama bump is undeniable.

Right now Alabama, LSU or any number of good football teams would benefit from Strong being on staff. If Charlie can help us have a dominant Defense faster, I'd say bring him on-board.

Dig that! Strong is a good coach. I don't think his success at Louisville was a fluke...probably more right place at the right time. Regardless, he and we would be better off with him on the staff.

TIFWIW, Suttles said on the radio Strong was offered an off-field analyst position.

not sure if he would take it, but that would pave a path for him to be a DC in 2021 and potentially HC in 2022

 

[colbysullivan]

Give him the DC job today!

 

[CoachJeff]

Charlie Strong was a head coach for 10 years. He lost at least 6 games 8 out of 10 years. I'm not sure he's a good head coach.

He hasn't been a DC in quite a while, but I would be happy with him on staff.

Good way to rehab in the short term

 

[Down4ttown]

Have to take an analyst role and work his way up in my mind. Saban confided in Pete and needs to see that through before jumping ship at first chance.

The formula is...well known coach gets fired, getting paid by previous employer, gets offered a respectable sum to be a Bama analyst, learns the process, becomes a winner, helps the program - voila - head coaching offer at power 5 program. Yea, I can see him in Crimson.

What did he confide in Pete?

If a move was happening, it would have happened. Saban has committed to giving him a shot and has more than likely told him his expectations in exchange.
