My prediction on staff

I don’t think Freeman comes over. Either stays in Cindy, or goes to ND. Just my opinion.

Karl Dunbar, time to come back home. Or we can do Pete Jenkins for the 10th time, I’m sure he’s ready to come out of retirement again

Believe the OP is correct

That's accurate

Lac can recruit

DL coaching role is like 95% recruiting

Development should be a big factor. All our defensive lineman in the past few years have been raw and lacking technique.

I think you're pretty close. Lacouture isn't ready for the big show just yet.

They will give Freeman a veteran coach who gives him the best chance to succeed.

Keep Lacouture around though :)

Karl Dunbar is the best DL coach Alabama had under Saban. And it’s not close. But he’s an abysmal recruiter.

Actually, this would be an interesting scenario.

I think LaCouture has 2 yrs. left that he can be a GA. And a lot of people say that most recruiting is done behind the scenes now days anyway; so bring in Dunbar to let LaCouture continue to learn under him and LaCouture do the recruiting, which people have said he is really good at.

Then in 2 years LaCouture has a resume of having played under Orgeron/Jenkins and coached under Orgeron, Johnson, and Dunbar. If he can't pick up enough from all of those great DL coaches to be a good coach, then he'll never be one.
