Alabama’s defensive coordinator seemed to come out of nowhere as a candidate. My booster contacts have confirmed that he’s been in communication with our athletic director, and they’re not thrilled about it either.
Right now, the expectation is that our AD will hire Kane Wommack sometime during the first week of December, though that could change at any moment. There are three other candidates in the mix, but each of them is a real head-scratcher.
What’s even more frustrating is that our AD — with help from TurnkeyZRG — hasn’t even made an attempt to pursue a proven, successful head coach. All four candidates are assistants. I’m not sure why that is, but it may be because experienced head coaches realize how challenging this job would be. And with our severely underfunded NIL situation, that’s probably the biggest reason of all.
