Chris, why in your opinion would CJS leave for what appears to be a lateral move and for basically the same money, how does that make any sense? Especially since he's never even coached in the Pro's before, unless that's what his goal is, to coach in the NFL…Thoughts?

A move into the NFL is not considered a lateral move, it's generally considered a step up. Alabama pays its coaches very well, but the Eagles really went after him and I have to assume there's a raise involved. Also, consider this, his stock has probably never been higher and while Alabama's line is going to be pretty darn good next year I doubt it'll has highly regarded as this one.
I'm not sure what his ultimate goal is, but having college and pro experience will only help him get there.

+1 Chris because I don't have more! :-) Wow, great answer, makes sense on many levels, now that you brought the light of clarity to it! :-) Also, as TW said in response to the same question I asked him, "maybe the grind of 365 gets a bit old", as well. Thank you My Brother for all of your exceptional skill and talent that you bring to BOL and a belated and nonetheless, heartfelt congratulations on the writing award(s) you recently won, you're the best!

I can't remember off the top of my head..... Have any other staff changes happened AFTER signing day like this? I don't mean literally the day after, but sometime before spring practice etc...

That's a major loss. Before he came to T-Town our QBs were getting pounded.

Because they played for Bama? Are they among the best OL coaches out there?

Joe Pendry did pretty well with the offensive line before Stout got here.

CNS doesn't just hand out GA positions for the hell of it. If Chris has displayed great coaching skills in the past year, he will be considered.

Only on rushing plays. They had a tough time picking up the blitz. JPW took way too many hits.

That's true but our talent level wasn't as good then either. Not saying it sucked but that should be factored in a bit as well.

I'm excited to see who Saban picks to replace Stoutland, I know he'll pick good.
