Have seen a couple of rumors that Alabama is going after Chip Long.

This says a couple of things. # 1. Long and Elko were great hires. #2. ND’s fall in college football is possibly permanent. It’s no longer a coaching destination. It’s a stepping stone.

Alternatively #3 Kelly one way or another is not long for ND and nobody wants to be here under that kind of uncertainty.

Nothing concrete so far it seems like speculation based on the fact that he is from Alabama.

I read today that he's being considered, and that if offered, he'd almost certainly accept. He's a native of Alabama. However, I also read that the more likely scenario is that Bama promotes WR's coach and co-offensive coordinator Mike Locksley. If Locksley doesn't get the promotion, FSU has already shown interest in him. Bama is apparently also considering Jim McElwain, Matt Canada and Hugh Freeze. That's a pretty impressive list, so I wouldn't consider Long the front runner. With that being said, I'd hate to see him join the list of those bolting (coordinators and players). Keeping my fingers crossed that they find their man elsewhere.

GO IRISH!

Reports are surfacing that Bama is planning to promote Locksley to OC.

I've heard they wanted him to co-coordinator and Long turned that down. More loyal than Elko anyway.

Or smart. If co-coordinator thing doesn’t pan out, who takes the blame. The outsider or the guy who has been in the system?

I’ve never been a fan of the co coordinator plan. It sucked when we had Tenuta and Brown as co coordinators.

Probably both.
