Yep, I've seen tRant bitch for years about Bama's massive shadow staff and now that we are loading up people bitch about it.

I seriously doubt Bama has a shadow staff of nothing but former HCs and coordinators from P5 schools either. Most will be guys you've never heard of.

Not close.

We could add 10 more and still not have the most.

I think it's great but I don't think it will do much good because at the end of the day O is still calling the shots.

We might not win any championships, but we’ll have several people on staff who can tell us why.

You need as much help as you can get when the HC doesn’t know diddly squat.

quote:

When Nick Saban, Alabama’s football coach, decided to replace his offensive coordinator, Lane Kiffin, in the run-up to last season’s national championship game, he had an experienced former head coach ready to step in.

Actually, he had several. Not including Saban, there were five former top-tier head coaches on the Alabama staff when the postseason began, including three working as so-called analysts in what are (at least officially) noncoaching roles. Saban tapped one of them, the former Washington and Southern California coach Steve Sarkisian, to run the offense in the title game against Clemson. Though Alabama lost, it was not because of the offense, which scored 31 points and did not struggle in unfamiliar hands.

“This isn’t like I flew in on a plane and I just took over this week,” Sarkisian said at the time. “I’ve been here for four months. I’ve worked with Lane hand in hand.”

Texas, Bama, USC (undisclosed), Baylor (under Briles), Auburn (Chizik & Herky-Jerky), and tOSU have a rep for having many.

Playing catch up, at least publicly: LSU, WV

Austin Thomas was supposed to be a big part of helping us catch up by finding these guys, but he fricked that up with his impatience.

And good question missloutiger... it will be hard to determine, but still I wonder.

May just be me but this statement seems pretty stupid.

You think it's great but won't do much good because the guy making it happen is the one calling the shots? If it's not really stupid at the very best it makes NO SENSE.

He’s saying you can have all the best information and analytics but if it all has to get filtered through O it’s pointless

Maybe I should have worded it differently then. I think it's a great idea when you have a competent HC calling the final shots. Is that better?
