Josh Niblett: Head Coach, Hoover High School, Hoover, Al.

While this name is purely a longshot, you have to at least consider the possibility that defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt will throw Niblett’s name into the hat for Saban to consider.

Niblett has been head coach at Hoover High School since 2008, and played for the Tide under Gene Stallings from 1993-95. During the past six seasons at Hoover, Niblett’s Bucs have gone 84-6 overall, playing in the Alabama Super Six Championship game each season, winning three of them.

He’s known for his offensive prowess and Pruitt himself was plucked from the high school coaching ranks while at Hoover, so the transition wouldn’t be unheard of.

Still, when you’re talking about a perennial national championship team, it’s hard to imagine a high school coach coming on board and keeping things at that high of a level.
