I believe there is still one coaching spot available (9 of the 10 allowed were announced), so there could still be a DT coach announced after the bowl games or playoffs.

I take back my snarkiness. I thought it was Williams, but I see now that he was specifically announced as DEs.
Charles Kelly- D. Coordinator/D-line?
safties
I think an off-field guy would have already joined the staff. So I'm thinking that we must be poaching someone significant from a program's on-field staff. Or it's possibly an NFL guy.
NFL guy seems about right, some guy that can move from assistant assistant to being an assistant.
You only admit this after he reads it, dammit
I’m sneaky like that
He was announced along with 9 other staff members. Just waiting now on the 10th on field coach, which should be a DT coach
Announced but I remember he was staying at bama until signing day or something. Is he on campus yet?
He is coaching the safties for Alabama in the Sugar Bowl vs KSU a week from today.
Thanks. That’s pretty annoying. **** bama. They can get someone else to coach safeties. He needs to get to work.
Counterpoint: he’s spending lots of time with very talented players who may not be getting the PT or attention they were hoping to get and may be looking for a new home.
On the other hand, in this transfer portal era, strengthening those connections, to Saban and the players, right before you bounce may pay long term dividends
Ha! Great minds
At his signing day press conference this week Saban explicitly thanked Kelly for sticking around, so hopefully that gratitude will start paying those dividends even in the near term
You want Saban friendly.
Seriously. The guy has established himself as The Godfather for the entire college coaching profession.
Good. He owes that to the players there IMO.
And Saban has never been one to prevent any staff member from taking a promotion. It is telling though about what he thinks about Kelly by having him stick around for the bowl game and to keep recruiting. If he didn't have him in high regard or value his contributions he would have released him immediately to come or just nor have asked him to stay.
Depends what you’d call going from coordinator to HC…for some schools.
This is an excellent point and perspective. It also brings the utter lazy incompetence of the prior coaching staff into stark relief. Sure Prime has a name and visibility, but more importantly, he has a vision, which HCKD never once exhibited—everything was “multiple,” which simply reads…. whatever we can find we’ll try to make work.
I just wonder what conversations RG had with Dorrell over the past two years or so, trying to light a fire under a wet blanket.
He ain't coming here to be DT coach

Didn't think I needed sarcasm font for that. The fact that apparently I did shows how hot we're running right now. There isn't a lot that would surprise any of us right now, except for maybe Jack Kroll personally donating to NIL.
Sorry. Some people have swallowed the Kool aid man
