I heard that for him to leave Bama, he has to have At least a coordinator position, per his contract.

Not sure if true.

No coach in his right mind would sign a contract like that. That's nuts. No way that's true. Bama can't just "own" coaches. Pretty sure free will is still a thing.

Well it is Alabama. They cut scholarship players as often as the NFL does Free Agents

It's actually pretty common to prevent lateral moves.

"According to Oklahoma State’s lawsuit, Wickline’s contract with Cowboys allowed him to leave without financial penalty only if he took a job as a head coach or offensive coordinator with play-calling duties."

Now I could see the financial thing. I wouldn't expect the University to fulfill the contract if the coach left. Now, I couldn't see them being able to take money away from the coach either for the time spent. Like he worked 200 days of the contract, he gets paid for those 200 days. Not he owes us money back b/c he wants to leave. Couldn't ever see that holding up in court. Just seems ridiculous in the coaching profession.

 
Kind of shady, but when talking about recruiters and Pac12 - what about Tosh Lupoi? Sitting on Alabama's staff in the recruiting department currently. (pretty awesome staff when you consider steele and lupoi are on it - puts our recruiting department to shame). Lupoi was ranked as one of the best recruiters in the nation for quite a while a few years ago.

 
Wait. We have five named so far:

LB (Bray)

WR (Brennan)

OL (Cavanaugh)

DC? (Banks)

ST (Read)

Really need the first three and Read seems definite. Who's the odd man out, or did Cavanaugh misspeak?

We know Cavanaugh, Bray and Read are in for sure, and most likely Banker. Hard to know where Brennan's name stands.
