Saban hired Steve Marshall in 2007 to be the OL coach but he then left for the Browns prior to coaching a game. After the Browns had stops at Cal and Colorado.

Though with Saban a name could come out of left field that nobody had ever heard of or had on their radar prior to the announcement .

I dunno. I don't see any of them getting it. I think it will be someone we haven't thought of.

I would think either Croom or Samuels would be great at fits. Chris is on staff now and would be easy move. I would feel great with anyone coach would pick. Roll tide

I really don't believe that expression applies anymore. Saban goes for the best of the best - not the best with UA ties.

He's not a coach at all. Just a recruiter / cheerleader.

Eveytime we have a coaching vacancy, someone has to mention Croom. Why is this? He didn't really set the woods on fire recruiting @ MSU. Yes I know BAMA is a different situation, but the man just doesn't stike me as someone that wants to be working the hours Saban requires.

I think he'd work his tale off, but I doubt Saban goes after him. It'll be some dude who is a good recruiter and has NFL ties. But that narrows it down to about 50 people. Color me not concerned.

If he is changed, that would be a possibility. All of the MSU fans that I talked to and seen post on the message boards wanted him gone because they all said he was a lazy recruiter.

Croom is a new hire on the Titans staff. Not sure he would leave the Titans without coaching a single game there.

Samuels. Former all American, NFL all pro. Best tackle in the league (college & pro) during his day. Would be great recruiter perfect for the Mobile area which is his hometown and where he did some high school coaching. Has established relationships with the Mobile/Baldwin coaches as not just recruiter but as a former colleague
