Jody Wright, UAB: Coming off his first season as assistant head coach/offensive line for the Blazers, Wright's previous experience at UA spans from graduate assistant (2010) to offensive analyst (2011-2012) to director of player personnel (2015-2017). Additional SEC experience in the form of support staffer under both Sylvester Croom (2005-2008) and Dan Mullen (2009) at Mississippi State .

Ryan Silverfield, Memphis: Rising star as the Tigers' assistant head coach/run game coordinator/offensive line coach. UM finished fourth nationally in rushing offense in 2018 at 280 yards per game. Extensive NFL experience, having worked for both the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings. For the 2017 cycle, Silverfield was ranked as the fourth-best recruiter in the American Athletic Conference by 247sports.com.

Will Friend, Tennessee: Recently completed first season at UT, where he serves under close friend and former UA teammate Jeremy Pruitt. Has coached OLs for four different FBS programs: UAB (2007-2010), Georgia (2011-2014), Colorado State (2015-2017) and Tennessee (2018). Four-year starter and two-time All-SEC selection at offensive guard for UA from 1993-1996.

Sam Pittman, Georgia: If he were to make a move it would have likely been to Tennessee with Jim Chaney, who recently left UGA to take over as the Vols' offensive boss. Still, a call likely already has been or will be made to gauge Pittman's interest. Long regarded as one of the best OL coaches in the game, Pittman has SEC stops at UT, Arkansas and UGA on his resume.

Rob Sale, Louisiana-Lafayette: Similar to Wright in that Sale, who just finished up his first season as the Ragin Cajuns' offensive line coach and offensive coordinator under former UA assistant Billy Napier, has extensive ties to Nick Saban and Alabama. Sale played for Saban at LSU before serving in a support staff role under his old coach at UA from 2007-2011. Sale spent a lot of time observing former UA OL coach Joe Pendry during his time at the Capstone. Also spent a season as Georgia's offensive line coach in 2015

UPDATE

I appreciate the effort so much but unfortunately, don't believe your cousin will be able to assist.
Returning from the surgeon and apparently the damage covers the entire pancreas. Removal of a portion (I believe is what your cousin had done) is a no-go for me. Another Dr. specialized in a specific procedure followed by a nerve block, seems to be my only possible resort.

But that came with a suggestion of no working until then, so I could eat and deal with the pain that follows (dropped another 6 pounds to 126 this week).
Because of medical bills, not working is absolutely out of the question As is the cost of a trip to a "specialist's specialist" at/near USCjr for treatment, that he wanted to go through.

Dr. Midis is just concerned with my lack of nutrition and the extraordinary weight loss. But I can't pay what I no longer have.
I'll just do what I can and lean on you guys for support during the darker hours.
Again, thank you all so much for allowing me to vent and all of the kind words and prayers!!!
Love ya guys.

I can't tell you anything that will fix the problems you have, so I will just say this.

Don't ever let it take who you are away from you or those around you. There are certain things that can be taken away from us that we can't control. Healthy and money are 2 of those things. I commend you for the fight you are displaying and even tho we have never met consider you a friend.

Theres a good chance I will be making a trip to SC in the spring to visit a friend that is in the process of moving. If that happens I would like to put a face with a name if we can make that work out.

Keep plugging bro. praying for you, the DRs and those around you.

Not usually a good sign when your teammates are recruiting another QB. Kind of goes into that whole JG seems like his own dude stuff. I notice when he celebrates it's usually just by himself or not even with the guy making he big play he will pick a random dude to bump chest with. Never thought it as a big deal but did find odd that players never really seem to gravitate toward him. Keep in mind I could completely be way off as these are tv shots not actually at game seeing bench interaction

SIAP

Purely an internet rumor, so there's like a 95% chance that none of this is true.

Says players loved and miss Kirby not Pruitt? How many of them actually played for Kirby? He's been gone a while. I don't really buy all that.

Very first trilogy I ever read, really first whole book. Was the Dragonlance Chronicles by Margaret Weiss and tracy Hickman. The next series The Time of the Twins had me. Been reading ever since. I found the love of imagination from it. Had to keep a dictionary close by so as to understand every sentence. Was some real mayonnaise words in some of the books I read.

There’s so many holes in that post😂 like Najee only playing bcuz of his 5* tag, yet he had no problem playing a 3* (Jacobs) all these years, or sitting 5*’s over the years knowing some will transfer. Raekwon Davis quit, yet he passed up the NFL to return? Hurts was literally the talk of the media and twitter for 2 weeks after the SECCG.
Hard to believe a team quit and put up 450 yards against a top 3 defense. Sounds like excuses for getting outplayed and out coached.

Of course, I hope it’s all true and Nick Saban retires

You're a helluva guy Beech and I'm honored to call you friend.

Afraid I used poor wording though, I'm here in East Tennessee. Apparently THE premier expert for my condition is down in SC.
The way my surgeon was gonna have me "run over to USC", you would have thought it was a trip across town 😂

The Murfreesboro native was back in Knoxville yesterday to meet with Tennessee's staff. As of this publishing, Jennings still has not registered for classes, though.

Both the NFL Early Entry deadline and drop/add are Jan. 14. In talking to multiple folks, it's a coin flip right now as to whether or not he will return to the program.

Will Friends name will surface as a candidate to coach the OL at Bama as long as he coaches every time it comes open. He is a good coach and played there. I personally don’t see it but you never say never. I’d also think that Freddie Kitchens may take a look at him as well in Cleveland since they are really close.

Id lean to him being in Knoxville imo.

I really think it's finished and he is letting the show finish before he releases it. In fact, I think that's why we got "Fire and Blood", to kinda satisfy us and make more money, of course. I think he is pissed at Dan and Dave (HBO adapters of the book into the show) and is going in different directions, sometimes out of spite. Going to drop the book on the Monday or Tuesday after the last episode and watch even more money roll in.

Well, it is pretty much his world. He created it first and sold his soul to HBO. I am really pissed at him. He does not seem to care that his fans wait and wait and he has spent way too much time on the convention circuit when he should be writing his ass off.
