What are we all hearing regarding the staff? I've seen several articles about who is being kept, being approached, etc.
Monday is when it will be.
I fully expect a formal announcement as early as tonight, after the SEC Title game, but as late as tomorrow afternoon. We must get Smart signed quickly so he can assemble his staff and retain as many prospects as possible. My biggest concern is OC, to which I've seen Meachem, Napier and Helton all rumored as candidates.
I'd put Cincy's Eddie Gran and Stanford's Mike Bloomgren on the list of potential OC candidates.
Well I think Saban would a in staff because of the 3-4Another couple of names to put in the DC mix is Bama secondary coach Mel Tucker and Wisconsin's Dave Aranda. Aranda has great results as Wisconsin's DC, his players love and respect him. Tucker has both pro and college experience at DC, He's also considered a candidate to replace Kirby as Bama DC.

I think Kirby will bring in a staff full of coaches he has worked with before.
He could do a lot worse than keeping Our current defensive staff intact. I don't see a bad one in the bunch.
