Analysts can actually coach now. The NCAA got rid of that rule 2-3 years ago. The only thing analysts can't do is visit recruits

Is that right or does it have to be a designated coach. So they can have 10 on the road but it doesn’t have to be specific position coaches

He was considered one of the top young minds in college football a couple of years ago but his career has stalled. It will be good for him to get exposed to the hottest offense in college football and good for the program to bring his knowledge, experience and contacts into the program.

This move is something Alabama would do in the days when Nick Saban was the head coach at Alabama. Emulating Saban is IMHO a very good thing. We are finally acting like a big time program.

I like it. A lot.

Schedule be damned we’re coming out firing going into 2025 and beyond

We've come a long way from grabbing OCs from McNeese State. It's nice to be ahead of the chains for once. Both Nixon and ERob are going to get poached at some point. Talented young coaches are going to want to come here.

A lot of guys take that role these days. I think they're paid pretty well and have plenty of input. Didn't Marrone just do it at BC? Alabama always seemed to have a consultant army of former top HCs or coordinators. Could mean less headaches too, although I'm just spitballing on that.

He just got fired from Maryland and these days coordinators typically have multi year contracts (usually 2). It’s quite possible Maryland had to pay a decent buyout that would allow him to take a reduced pay role as an analyst type that could potentially serve as a stepping stone into our OC position in the near future.
