In a recent segment on WJOX's "McElroy and Cubelic In the Morning," former Alabama quarterback John Parker Wilson expressed his enthusiasm for the recent staff additions made by Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer. Wilson particularly highlighted the importance of hiring sitting head coaches, namely Kane Wommack from South Alabama and Maurice Linguist from Buffalo, to join the Crimson Tide coaching staff.

According to Wilson, the inclusion of experienced coaches on the staff brings a multitude of advantages. "When you can get those people around you, it only elevates what you're trying to do," Wilson stated. Not only do these additions widen the knowledge base of the coaching staff, but they also expand the network for recruiting purposes. Wilson drew comparisons to Alabama head coach Nick Saban, who has frequently brought former players and coaches back to the program in various roles. However, in this case, Wommack and Linguist will have the opportunity to make a direct impact on the field.

Wilson's anticipation for the upcoming season was evident, with a particular focus on the offensive capabilities of Coach DeBoer's system. "This offense is fun to watch, it's creative, it's going to be ever-changing," Wilson exclaimed. As a former offensive player himself, Wilson expressed his excitement for athletes who will have the opportunity to thrive within this dynamic system.

In the discussion, Wilson was also asked about notable losses for Alabama, aside from Caleb Downs. He pointed to wide receiver Isaiah Bond as a significant departure from the program. Wilson highlighted Bond's emergence as a talented receiver, particularly noting his impactful play against Auburn. Understanding the potential growth and development opportunities Alabama offers, Wilson expressed some surprise at Bond's decision to depart. He emphasized the importance of continuity and the ability for players like Bond to continue to improve within the Crimson Tide program.

Looking ahead, Wilson speculated on potential similar situations at other college football programs, questioning whether Michigan might soon face similar challenges. He also asserted that college football as a whole needs to address such issues, though he admitted uncertainty regarding the appropriate solutions.

As the anticipation builds for Alabama's upcoming season, the additions made by Coach DeBoer to his staff have garnered praise from John Parker Wilson. With experienced head coaches joining the Crimson Tide ranks and an exciting, ever-changing offensive system in place, Alabama fans have much to look forward to in the months ahead.
