    So it was alledged a few weeks back, that Univ of Alabama trustees blocked the hiring of Jimbo Fisher as head coach at UA-B so he would be available to join Nick Saban (when he was hired by UA-T) as the Alabama OC. However, for whatever reason, Fisher was not interested in being Nick Saban's OC so he accepted a position to be OC and heir apparent to Bobby Bowden at FSU. Keep in mind the position of heir apparent to Bobby Bowden came open because Kevin Steele left FSU to work for Saban at UA-T.

    So now, because of the opening at Miami-NFL, created by Saban's departure, Chan Gailey is considering a departure from Georgia Tech which would create an opportunity for Jimbo Fisher to go to Atlanta as the Jackets' headcoach.

    If this happens who are the OCs at Alabama and fsu? Is Applewhite the OC in Tuscaloosa?

    OC at Alabama has not been officially announced yet but the feeling is that Joe Pendry will be the OC.

    Gaterzfan,
    I was on the wrong planet again. Applewhite is the OC
