autigeremt 6,776 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Burns to Alabama Burton Burns By Brett Jensen CUTigers.com Date: Jan 15, 2007 CUTigers.com has learned that Clemson running backs coach Burton Burns is headed to Alabama. I do not subscribe to their site, but this guy is a really good coach/recruiter. He was the man who recruited C.J. Spiller and James Davis to the Tigers.

PChamp119 96 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Sounds like Saban is putting together a nice little coaching staff under his belt. The Bama administration has to be coughing up some big bucks for some of these guys, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autigeremt 6,776 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Sounds like Saban is putting together a nice little coaching staff under his belt. The Bama administration has to be coughing up some big bucks for some of these guys, 200,000 a year. It's an 80,000 a year raise from what he was getting from Clemson. Clemson is gearing up for a coaching change next year. Their AD has made it clear that the money has been put aside to buy out Bowden if he does not produce next season.

I don't think anyone should be scared, but I am personally happy at the quality of recruiters most of these guys are. There are about 5 out of the 9 that are considered top-notch recruiters, and most of them have experience in different areas. Steele, Applewhite, Burns, Thompson, and Saban are all recruiters of extremely good talent in the past. That is very important. I read that Major Applewhite has had a few babies named after him in Texas, and that he can walk in practically any high school there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
