Bama O-line coach Jeff Stoutland expected to head to the Eagles..

Gonna be the next O-line coach there under Chip.

I have to say this sucks, we've lost 3 great starters, now the coach is gone. Saban made a great hire after Pruitt left, so I expect the same here.

Stoutland hasn't officially signed a contract yet, so I guess he could change his mind, but not likely to happen. He's already contacted several recruits letting them know he won't be coaching Bama next year.

Pretty good timing I'll say....after all the LOI's are in...

Good timing indeed. I believe I read Saban has had 20+ assistants move on since he's been at Bama. I have faith he'll find a suitable replacement this time too.

Stoutland will be missed.... I wish him good luck in the pros.

That's what you get for being good.

How did you feel after McElwain left?

That's the bad side of being a good team. People will take your position coaches.

As an Eagles fan I was going to ask you about this guy. I guess he is a good hire for the Eagles staff.

He coached some of the best O-lines in Alabama history, and this 2012 line was one of the best in NCAA history.

I think if he has any weakness, it's definitely pass protection. While the line did a great job for the most part, we did slip some in pass protection. That could probably be contributed to DJ Flukers difficulties blocking a good outside pass rusher though.

I'm eager to see how he does in the NFL, I think he'll be great.

Hired Mario Cristobal. I think it was a pretty good hire.

Damn good hire. Crostobal is big for recruiting South Florida.

I was thrilled because McElwain sucked!!
