Robert Gillespie, along with freddie Roach, were the only (2) coaches retained by kalen DeBoer. Would be a big loss. Really good coach. Probably a rumour.

We will know it's real if SideTaint tells us it isn't.

Six Potential Candidates fro RB coach OSU
Would have to be a really good offer since RG was promoted by Deboer.

ROBERT GILLESPIE, ALABAMA
This would be one of the bigger swings Ryan Day could take in trying to fill Alford's shoes. Having already plucked center Seth McLaughlin and safety Caleb Downs from Alabama in the transfer portal, the Crimson Tide's three-year running backs coach could be another target of theft from the program Nick Saban just left.
Gillespie's been a bell-cow recruiter for the Tide, winning key battles against Ohio State for five-star running back Justice Haynes and even five-star defensive end Keon Keeley. Across his three recruiting cycles at Alabama, Gillespie's helped bring five 247Sports composite five-stars to Tuscaloosa, serving as the primary recruiter for four of those signings.
New Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer made a point to promote Gillespie to assistant head coach after first being hired. Still, he's worth a call for Ryan Day.

Gillespie is sought after? No shite. You mean to tell me college programs try to hire away good coaches? I would have never thought.

Gillespie's departure will likely result in DeBoer being fired for cause.

He said no thanks to Georgia and Tennessee already this offseason. He just got a nice raise and promotion at Alabama. He also has as talented a RB depth chart as anyone.
But who knows. Did anyone see Ohio State losing their RBs coach to Michigan?

Meh, our running backs have been…ok, I guess under Gilllespie. Certainly not what we were used to seeing but I guess he’s done a fair job.
