Alabama coach Nick Saban gets the ball rolling and hopes to move away from the debacle that was him leaving the Miami Dolphins by finishing his coaching staff hirings. He has also offically announced what position each person will hold under him. Here is his list of coaches:

Curt Cignetti - Recruiting Coordinator and Wide Receivers Coach

Major Applewhite (Yes the former Texas Q - Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks Coach

Kevin Steele - Defensive Coordinator

Burton Burns - Associate Head Coach, Running Backs.

Joe Pendry - Assistant Head Coach, Offense and Offensive line.

Kirby Smart - Assistant Head Coach, Defense and Secondary.

Ron Middleton - Tight Ends/Special Teams.

Bo Davis -Defensive Line

Lance Thompson -  Outside Linebackers

Overall I think it is a very strong coaching staff, however I have to question what the hell Major Applewhite is doing there as Offensive Coordinator, previously Mr. Major was OC at Rice - not exactly a D1 powerhouse.
