Damn.
I was really looking forward to seeing Alabama’s towel guy.
Damn.
Todd Grantham, who interviewed for the @AlabamaFTBL DC job, has decided to return to the NFL as an assistant with the New Orleans Saints, sources tell ESPN. Grantham was an analyst at Bama last season. He worked in the NFL for 11 seasons and was DC at three different SEC schools.

I was really looking forward to seeing Alabama’s towel guy.
“And Georgia fans, don’t be turds. Enjoy this. Soak it up. It’s awesome. If you don’t win this year, it’s still not a failure. It’s a heck of a run. Back-to-back in the Playoff era hasn’t been done. So, to ask for a third I feel like it’s gluttonous. I feel like it’s not OK. But we’ll be in the mix.”-- David Pollack, On3.com, 5/9/23
Huge cheer just went up from Flowery Branch.

The upside is this another person not heading to Bama.

All I saw was the header, the name Todd, and “return to the NFL” and all I could do was swear into my keyboard because my brain has been on Monken-watch since the Ravens 2nd interview news.

Buck up Senator, maybe Pruitt will get the gig. Not as much fun as 3&G but makes up for it in dumbassery.

Dumbassery aside, it seems like Pruitt knows how to coach a solid defense. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings if he stays out of the SEC.

Pruitt’s X&Os and ability to spot and develop talent is clear. However, chemistry still matters no matter how talented and experienced the players and staff. With serious cracks showing in Bama’s culture, Pruitt’s toxic personality could be an accelerant for a potential dumpster fire in the program.

The fact that Saban hasn’t filled the roles yet is astonishing. He should have first choices in mind who already had their bags packed.

This is what has me thinking that Saban has become a not so hot commodity for coaches, unless they are in need of rehab. He been turned down more publicly this time than ever before on the offensive side. If the NCAA or the SEC don’t stop Pruitt from coaching without a show cause then they are crazy.

BAMA bans breath a HUGE sigh of relief. Third and Grantham isn’t coming to Tuscaloosa. The rest of the SEC is very disappointed.

Yeah. He usually played it the other way but I guess he catrfished the Saints by dangling the “Bama Offer”.

Both Rees and Grantham to Alabama would have been great. We’ll have to settle for 50-50.
