Bama has hired former Tiger Karl Dunbar as their DL Coach:

We've already have a great DL coach, but would have been cool to have had him on staff somewhere. Oh well, congrats to Dunbar and wish him the best (except when we play them of course).

I read where he was in the strength and conditioning program as some kind of assistant while NS was HC there.

Yep. He has an interesting history with both Les and Saban.

S&C Caoch for Saban in '00-'01
Les hired him as DL coach at OSU '02-'03 and at LSU '05.

Dunbar is a great DL coach. I wouldn't trade Ed O for him but he and Pete Jenkins would be close seconds.

I remember he was pissed about his contract the last time he left LSU. Took an NFL job for a while I think.

He was Strength and Conditioning under Saban in 2001.
Hopefully, he'll be back in the NFL next year. Rex Ryan really screwed Karl by letting him go in March, after all the NFL Staffs were set, as opposed to immediately following the season so he could get on with someone else. Rex is an a-hole.

Congratulations to him. He's a tiger through and through. His daughter is the best shot putter in the country and just signed with LSU. I can't blame him for following the money.

Met him while he was coaching for the Jets. I know he has to be happy to be back in the south.

Used to live about a mile from me in Opelousas.

My grandpa knew him and we used to stop in and talk to him once in a while.


Awesome guy!!

Geez, what are all the down votes about?


Not like I said we should get rid of Coach O to get Dunbar.
