OK, this article is good for a laugh.....

Best and worst cases for college football coaching searches

Urban Meyers don't grow on trees. Rarely will a school have a ready-made superstar available and willing to fill their opening. And so yes, Urban Meyer/Jim Harbaugh/Nick Saban are absolute home-runs hires, but that's not the norm.

The reality is most coaches come from the fat part of the curve. Maybe a program swings and misses on their top candidate, but most coaching searches are resolved before progressing to the 4th or 5th choice.

Let's be honest -- a lot of it is luck. It's a crap shoot in the crazy world of college football.

The big concerns most of us Bama fans have about smart is, will he coach the playoffs (if Bama makes them), and will he take Scott Cochran.

Cochran has been a tremendous asset to the team. Just look at what happened to UGA, LSU, and Tennessee after the injuries piled up.

Projected staff for Kirby (per AJC and other insiders):

OC: Tyson Helton of WKU (Clay Helton of USC's younger brother)
http://www.bgdailynews.com/blogs/hi...cle_d5c3c5fa-98b7-11e5-85a1-97b837585778.html

S&C: Scott Cochoran of Alabama
http://footballscoop.com/the-scoop

DL: Chris Rumph, formerly of Texas and three years at Bama with CKS. Also rumored they might retain current DLC Tracy Rocker
http://247sports.com/Coach/Chris-Rumph-244

RB/WR: Thomas Brown and Bryan McClendon will be retained from current staff. Both played for Smart when he was with UGA from 2004-2005

DC: Apparently he wants to hire Muschamp. This is the one most up in the air since both Muschamp and current DC Jeremy Pruitt both have interviews for HCG


EDIT:

The other name circling is someone named Glenn Schumann. He's listed as "Player Development/Personnel" on UA's website and he has a twitter account but not much else.
No picture, not listed as staff, nothing.

Apparently all defensive meetings consist of Smart, Schumann and Saban and nobody else.

"A source told FootballScoop Alabama’s defensive game-planning meetings consist of three people: Saban, Smart and Glen Schumann. Schumann is a well-hidden gear in the machine, titled only“player development/player personnel” on Alabama’s staff directory. There is no bio to be found. A Google web and image search bring nothing. But Schumann is a key member of the Tide’s defensive staff, tasked with taking Saban and Smart’s ideas and putting them into words the rest of the staff and players can comprehend."
