Here is a view of Bama's average coaching position tenure since Saban took over in 2007.

He brought in a whole new staff with him in 2007, so the average tenure was 1 year in 2007.

The yearly averages include all positions except the head coach, so it does not include Saban's tenure in each year's average.

If a coach was promoted from within from one position to a higher position, then that was treated as year#1 for that position.

Tenure peaked in 2015 and has steadily decreased since then.

As a comparison, as of the 2018 season, Clemson's average coaching tenure is 6.5 years (excluding Dabo). Paging Pruitt to follow this pattern at UT.

I’m looking forward to seeing Fulmer’s plan come to completion.

Saban retires and Butch Jones is the only one left to take over the reigns at Alabama.

It’s going to be glorious.

Graphic is a few years old but feels relevant right now.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Key, Tosh arent upgrades. Enos and Gattis left while the OC position was wide open

How many positions does Saban have to fill?

 

[Smokey123]

How many positions does Saban have to fill?

5 I believe

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

How many positions does Saban have to fill?

All of them it seems

 

[JacketVol]

I know you are Dukieforlife...because you said so.

It’s in his bio

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

If we finish with Wright, Henry To, Russell, and Pickens I will lose it

 

[Smokey123]

Gattis, Locksley, Key, Enos, Tosh. So that’s Co-OC/WR, OC, Oline, QB, DC/OLB. I could be forgetting one

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Bama OC wide open and Enos and Gattis both leave for other jobs. I know it’s been said, but that’s a huge deal. Somethings going on there

 

[BruinVol]

I think it's fair to say Saban culled a few but lost a few he didn't want to lose.


Who did he want to keep?

Gattis, Locksley, Key, Enos, Tosh. So that’s Co-OC/WR, OC, Oline, QB, DC/OLB. I could be forgetting one

Yea it’s odd, especially the Gattis one. Saban wanted him to stay and UM is a committee of play callers.

Of course Saban could have told him he wasn’t an option for OC, but that just doesn’t really seem likely imo

Agree...
I’m not sure. It was reported Saban blew up on Gattis when Gattis told him he was leaving. I would assume he would have wanted to keep one of Enos/Locksley but other than that idk

 

[shoney]

I think it was Gattis who said Saban chewed him out for 20 minutes when he told him he was leaving. I read that somewhere.

 

[buffaloblue]

Saban maybe getting harder to work for. 12 positions in 2 years can be bad for development. I love it

What happened to Sark?

 

[buffaloblue]

Who’s even on the road for Bama.

 

[Weezer]

My only fear of Bama having openings is whether or not Saban tries to raid our staff. Most have Bama connections.

Gattis can be FOS himself. He learned from the best douche in James Franklin

Well I wouldn't take a 5 min a** chewing for a job I just quit much less take it for 20 minutes from a screaming hobbit.

Just saying I have my doubts he did. It didn't make sense. Why would Saban chew him out trying to keep him. More like he chewed him out because he probably lied saying he was staying and Saban was like wtf. Sorry if I don't trust the word of a guy that agreed to a deal with a guy he was just working with and immediately screwed him by taking Michigan job. He royally Fd a good man in Locksley

 

[UTSuave’]

When Henry commits to the Vols over bama.

 

[UTSuave’]

I think it was Gattis who said Saban chewed him out for 20 minutes when he told him he was leaving. I read that somewhere.

How I took it was he chewed his ass out 20 minutes before he informed saban he was leaving. that’s even better

I don't think Saban chewed him for 20 minutes, but he probably did some chewing. It's not like he's all warm and fuzzy, but Gattis probably exaggerated things too.
