New OL coach
- Thread starter wicker
- Start date
who determined the other three would be better than quinn ? thats nothing more than speculation. the bvg comparisons are idiotic to me. kelly and quinn have a track record of success together, the returning players endorsed the move. whats not to like ?
I didn't check the others but Bama has 29 coaches, Assistant AD for Football communications, 5 S&C coaches and and assistant AD for Football video. I'd wager if I went and looked at UM, OSU, Clemson, USC etc.. I'd find similar numbers.

Uh, the site you listed accurately shows Alabama with 11 members of the football coaching staff . My numbers were from CBS sports and reflected those that are football support staff at the schools mentioned.
Notre Dame lists 11 coaches just like Alabama. Notre Dame lists 4 grad assistants and 4 football analysts. Alabama lists 6 football analysts and no grad assistants that I could see.
There is a lot of hand wringing about this hire that seems short cited. Here is what I have been able to gather from the various boards that suggest Quinn is a good hire.
1. Dan Quinn was probably the most coveted BK assistant when BK was hired. Now he is the villain. I think this is the BVG effect.
2. HH was vilified by ND boards when he was hired as a washed out retread disliked substantially by his prior school's fanbase. Now he we have cannonized him.
3. Quinn knows the players, BK and Long. He was an experienced OC. He has coached Olmen for over 20 years with BK successfully. He was our offensive analyst for film and scheme.
4. He had opps to leave ND for OL jobs at lesser schools but apparently stayed because he really likes ND, a school whose fans just demand its coaches see us as the pinnacle destination.
5. Two players, Bars and Mustipher were involved in evaluating him. His old player Sean Mele who worked at ISD, praised him.
6. He has coached 22 All American OLmen in the various divisions he has worked in.
BK engaged in a youth movement last year. This year he brought in a seasoned pro to work with Long on play calling and scheme. This does not strike me as a sky is falling hire. I think the BVG effect is coloring people's assessment negative because BVG was truly the wrong fit.
I wanted Frye but I suspect Quinn and his experience might be better for the youngster Long
