Alabama Football: Nick Saban looking to Knoxville and Chapel Hill could complete the ’21 Crimson Tide staff.
Saturday night Alabama football chatter indicated Nick Saban may be close to another hire, and maybe two. Two more Alabama football assistants are needed to complete the 2021 staff. A replacement is needed for former running backs (now head coach at Marshall) coach, Charles Huff. Another coach is needed to fill the tight end and special teams duties vacated by Jeff Banks.
Numerous names have been mentioned over the last few days. First tweeted by Pete Thamel, with other sources concurring, the Saturday night news was North Carolina, running back coach, Robert Gillespie is Nick Saban’s top target.
