Alabama has been taking some several hits with its coaching staff ever since offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian agreed to take over the Texas program. Just look at the list of coaches departing from Tuscaloosa.
Offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian (Texas HC)
Offensive line coach Kyle Flood (Texas OL)
Special teams coordinator/tight end coach Jeff Banks (Texas ST/TE)
Associate head coach/running backs coach Charles Huff (Marshall HC)
Assistant to the head coach Butch Jones (Arkansas State HC)
Defensive analyst Charlie Strong (Jacksonville Jaguars LB)
Offensive analyst Major Applewhite (South Alabama OC)
Offensive analyst Rob Ezell (South Alabama TE)
Offensive analyst A.J. Milwee (Arkansas State OC)
There is also a possibility that Charles Kelly, Karl Scott or Mike Stoops could head to Missouri. Defensive coordinator Pete Golding has been linked to Texas, and wide receivers coach Holman Wiggins could leave as well.
