According to CoachingSearch.com, South Alabama quarterbacks coach Bryant Vincent has accepted the offensive coordinator job at UAB.

I guess that is what his son was congratulating him for.

Sounds good.

Used to coach at Spanish Fort. Might come in handy.

1) Obviously CBC knows and believes in him and I will support him, but it doesn't seem like a very inspiring hire.

2) From the USA website, "...while ranking in the top 10 in the Sun Belt Conference in passing and total offense." Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but there were only 10 teams in the Sun Belt in 2012. It's impossible not to rank in the top 10.

He coached the position for the first time during the 2012 campaign, and with his help Ross Metheny set school season standards in four different statistical categories after competing 189-of-345 attempts for 2,148 yards and 12 scores while ranking in the top 10 in the Sun Belt Conference in passing and total offense. At the end of the season, Jag quarterbacks combined to set new school season records in completions (244), attempts (449), yards passing (2,728) and passing yards per game (209.8).

Check the number 1 QBs rating and completion %.

I think that may be wrong.

Listed as 57th on ESPN.

I suspect Clark feels that the QB coach made it happen.

That, combined with the fact that the OC would not be making as big of a jump in pay may have led going to the next option.

I suspect Clark also was familiar with him during his coaching days at Prattville.

I assume that fills the coaching staff other than it being officially announced w/ the exception being any GAs

We are still short a RB coach, unless one of the current guys pick them up.

I think Ogle is the RB coach.

Ogle stayed at Just Show Up.

Hard to decipher all of this stuff in the interim.

Off topic of the thread but take a look at some of the future opponents (announced) to be coming to Mobile in the next 5-6 years.

I can't speak to Bryant's abilities as a play caller, recruiter, etc. But I can say this for certain: he is as dedicated a football coach as you will find. At the very least, Coach Clark has brought in a guy who will work his tail off. You'd like to think that that's always the case, but it's not...

Welcome, coach.

Take it for what it's worth, but on JERX this morning, Del Greco said at Spain Park they called him "Ru", as in "Guru".

Seems to have a lot of the same qualities as the head coach.

Works for me. Now if only hard work, skill, dedication, and a winning history will translate to victory at UAB...

Can't hurt to have OC who has spent the last couple of years as QB coach when we have a million QBs with no D1 game experience ...

Correct........should make an interesting spring training camp though.

I'm not familiar with what kind of offense that USA ran?
