I am really not sure what to do with this latest batch of SEC news.

Nick Saban has done enough to the Alabama brand so as to make it one of the most feared and respected in the entire sport. That script “A” brings cache with it—of course, prior to Saban, the Tide still had the history of Bear Bryant, et cetera, but Saban took it to another level.

That’s part of why this latest news seems just so… odd.

It’s no secret that Kalen DeBoer is having some trouble with filling out his staff. Mission one for him was retaining stud defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson. Robinson is now at Georgia—and, likely as a direct consequence, star safety Caleb Downs departed T-Town.

But that kind of thing happens. Something very similar came to pass with Elko and Elijah Robinson. I didn’t think about the fact that they are both named “Robinson” until just now. Is there something there? Probably not. I—no. No, that was nothing. I apologize.

It’s more than just that, though. Ryan Grubb—thus far attached at the hip with DeBoer—was originally announced to be the new OC at Alabama (after saying he wouldn’t be leaving Washington) before leaving after one month to take the Seahawks OC job. This came after Grubb said only days before that he was staying. DeBoer promoted from within to replace him.

Now, facing the task of filling out the rest of his staff, DeBoer has turned to an… unlikely… pool of talent. I am, of course, speaking of the Baylor Bears
