Just wanted to know, how the **** does Bama has such a large coaching staff when their are limits to staffs. Though about this, because the thought of Ken Dorsey as a qb coach is interesting.....but we would have to be down a choach or shuffle round etc.....

They hire them as consultants and they give them fancy meaningless titles like "Director of Football Performance" and so on.
I guess it's legal per NCAA as long as they are not recruiting and/or coaching the players.
Tressel did this as well during his Ohio State days. He had at least one guy who was a former NFL DCoord, a grey beard type.
And Harbaugh did as well at Stanford.

Correct, I spent some time working at the IMG Academies and their Director of Mental Conditioning works with Bama and FSU. He is only with the team on Friday and Saturday.

It looks like we'll be adding a "recruiting coordinator" to the staff, considering the NCAA just changed the rule that he has to be a part of the full time football staff. I wonder who Al will look to for filling this role.

The expanded support staff and fancy titled positions really took off under Tressel at Ohio State and Saban's arrival at Alabama. It's a way to get around NCAA limits on the number of full-time coaches. You're seeing more of it, especially with SEC programs and others that have the finances.
