TitanTiger 20,488 Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 The name that seems to be getting a lot of chatter is Al Pogue. Was a HS football coach here in Alabama and was an off the field analyst here a few years ago, then left to be the DB coach at Troy under Neal Brown. Brown took him to West Virginia and he's coaching LBs there right now. Pogue would be a good hire, but I don't know who else might be in play or how good of a recruiter Pogue is.

Supposedly a real good recruiter & knows the Alabama landscape very well which is important because this is a loaded in state class for 2021.

aubiefifty 16,803 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 would coach steele not get to help pick the new db coach since he would be coaching under steele and needing someone that will fit in his schemes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,270 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 What is his new position at FSU? Hope he didn't leave for the same job. Hate this....really liked the combo of him and McGriff working together on the secondary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,827 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Oooof this one stings. Why FSU? Did he get a promotion? Unrelated to that, are his Mississippi connections still of high value to us since this last class was a loaded one in that state? How are the future classes looking for MS? Does Leach/Kiffen put us in a spot to focus elsewhere? I'm not pretending to be in the know on this stuff so I'm genuinely curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Gus being on the hot seat a good bit he likely has more security the next 3 years at FSU by making the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norvell gave him his big break in coaching, likely better job security in the short term, & FSU upped their financial offer this time around. 8 minutes ago, Tiger said: are his Mississippi connections still of high value to us since this last class was a loaded one in that state? It was the class before this one & yes but Alabama is loaded in 2021 so that may be a higher recruiting value. 8 minutes ago, Tiger said: How are the future classes looking for MS? Can only answer for 2021 & not too good. 8 minutes ago, Tiger said: Does Leach/Kiffen put us in a spot to focus elsewhere? Doubt it. More likely talent does.

Preciate you breaking that down for me, E. I forgot the loaded MS class was the one before this last one. Woooops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,488 Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'd at least waste a phone call on Corey Raymond. He's the best DB coach in college football. I don't see anyone getting him out of Red Stick unless it's to make him a defensive coordinator, but you call him anyway. Of the candidates I've heard, I probably like Al Pogue. But I'm admittedly not an expert on who the best available are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
