Paul Finebuam is still ecstatic about the hiring of Coach Saban. I think he could actually be cheering for Alabama this year...haha. He lists a ranking of the SEC's best coaches in this article.
Saban, yesterday, added 3 members to his coaching staff: Ron Middleton, tight ends coach from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (former Auburn standout), Steve Marshall, offensive line coach from the Houston Texans, and Bo Davis, one of his Strength and Conditioning coaches from LSU who was recently with him in Miami.
Still no other confirmation on Major Applewhite, but with Pendry, Marshall, and the possibility of Jeff Brohm coming in as offensive coordinator, where do we put all of these people? Applewhite and Brohm are practically the same guy.
So we know that this is what we've got right now:
Nick Saban Kevin Steele Lance Thompson Todd Alles* Joe Pendry Bo Davis* Steve Marshall Ron Middleton
* - will not be an on-field assistant.
I think I like the direction the staff is going right now. Everyone has a different strength.
No basketball today. We pick back up with Vandy on Wednesday night. Memorial Gymnasium is a tough place to play. With Georgia at home and Auburn on the road, that makes the Vandy game incredibly important. We could be 4-1 in conference when we go on that stretch playing Arkansas, at LSU, South Carolina, and Mississippi State.
I don't think I'll be making any games until Feb. 10th at Ole Miss, so if anyone is attending, let me know.
