Seems like the only legitimate candidate thus far, aside from Tommy Spangler and Ron Cooper

Bio Highlights
- Joined Bama in 2009

- As a member of the Crimson Tide staff, he holds the title of assistant head coach for defense and coaches the outside linebackers.

- Sunseri's defensive line with the Panthers was regarded as one of the best in the NFL. Defensive end Julius Peppers, defensive end Mike Rucker and defensive tackle Kris Jenkins earned Pro Bowl honors during Sunseri's tenure

- Position coach at Michigan State, Pittsburgh, LSU (Saban)

- Defensive Coordinator at Illinois State and Iowa Wesleyan

What are your thoughts on this guy? Seems to have a lot of experience. Probably our best hope at this point. I know Pitt fans were thinking he was going to be hired as HC the last 2 times they were hiring.

Hubbs said Dooley wants to sign someone with dc experience but Sal would be the first choice if he couldn't go that route.

Its hard to tell how good someone is on Saban's staff considering Saban is such a good coach. Kind of like the assistants on Belicheck's staff.

I think Johnny Majors fired him and made him pack up and move out of Pittsburgh. He hasn't cared much for UT ever since.


One of the old-timers probably remembers that story better than I...?

Isn't his son a freshman lb for the tide? That would be a tough sale.

I highly doubt anyone can be considered a legitimate candidate at this point

I bet Chaney is all for hiring this guy...

If it's an assistant from either of these teams expect it to be leaked just before game time, so it gets play during the game.

I like what I know about this guy. He was a coach for the Panthers for a while, and the stories about his animated antics were legendary.

Wouldn't be my first choice..But I could live with it because of his resume..Plus, look at Bama's defense this year, not as good as LSU's but still good.:good!:

Well I don't think the school can afford him, chaney, and fulmer all in one lunch room so I would say this isnt the guy.
