3 thoughts on FSU football star Chris Weinke joining Alabama's coaching staff

Former Florida State star Chris Weinke is joining Alabama's coaching staff as an offensive analyst, according to this report from The Tuscaloosa News.

Three thoughts:

1. The rich keep getting richer. ‘Bama found a way to replace offensive analysts like former D-I head coaches Mike Locksley and Steve Sarkisian with a quarterback who has coached and played in the NFL...and won a national title and Heisman Trophy. Not bad, I guess.

2. I wonder if this opens up a bigger pipeline from Bradenton's IMG Academy to Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide's 2017 recruiting class includes two from IMG (five-star talent Dylan Moses and long snapper Thomas Fletcher).
