Kalen DeBoeri, who has been the head coach since Friday afternoon, is on the “football coaching staff andquot; The tab on the official website of Alabama Athleticand#039; is completely empty.Less than 24 hours after being named Alabama’s next head coach, there are many things on DeBoer’s priority list, but filling out the coaching staff is one of them.andquot;I definitely have a strong sense of what I would like to do,andquot; DeBoer said Friday. andquot;I want to be very thorough. The fine line here is that when we look for players from our own roster, fewer people come before them. I work tirelessly to check them out here.DeBoer said poaching is really strong because of coaching transfers from other programs to Alabama, andquot; so he’s looking to quickly find personnel to help him retain Crimson Tide players now and bring in new players from Portal as part of a roster overhaul.There’s a “Washington touch,” according to DeBoer. But he also plans to heed Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne’s advice to find someone on his staff who knows sweet tea and grains. All of DeBoerand#039’s training stops were in the Middle. – In the West or on the West Coast.
andquot;I understand that some SEC leagues and some Southeast leagues are necessary to help round out my experience here,andquot; DeBoer said. andquot;There is experience recruiting from the West Coast to Louisiana, but I don’t want to talk you through it and I don’t have all the coaches and phone numbers on my phone right now. I have to put myself in a place with the right people around me.andquot;One of the pieces DeBoer is sure to take with him from Washington is his general manager/director of player personnel Courtney Morgan, who will accompany him to Alabama just in case.
Alabama’s coaching staff has seen turnover even before and after Nick Sabanand’s retirement. Coleman Hutzler took the job at Mississippi State, Kevin Steele retired and Travaris Robinson was hired at Georgia..
