No sources here but I decided to do some digging. It seems like Billy is hiring people that he has a past relationship with, for the most part at least. Idk if it was ever mentioned on here but Keary Colbert was a QC at Bama when Billy was the WR coach there. We have heard Rumph, Lupoi, Karl Scott and all of those guys have worked with Billy in the past. I believe only Corey Raymond and Henderson are the only coaches so far that don't have a previous relationship working with Billy.
A name I stumbled accross, and he is considered a rising star in the industry is, Aazar Abdul-Rahim. He is currently the defensive backs coach at Boston College and was promoted to Associate Head Coach and defensive pass game coordinator. Previously he was the defensive coordinator at UMass. He worked with Billy at Alabama in 2014-2015 when he served as an analyst in 2014 and was then promoted to the Asst. Director of Player Personnel in 2015. DJ Durkin hired him away to be his DB coach at Maryland, where he did some work on the trail. I've read he is a candidate to interview for Notre Dame DC spot which would essentially be a Co-DC because of Freeman running the show. Toney is flexible and can coach ILB, bring in Abdul-Rahim to work with safeties/Co-DC title. He is known as a recruiter, etc..
I wouldn't be surprised if we end up hiring another QC from the time Billy was at Bama, it is just impossible to find those QC coaching lists anywhere. Maybe Abdul-Rahim meets the criteria. Just spit ballin.
