Charlie Strong was visited Nick Saban and the coaching staff in Tuscaloosa last week, and it looks like he’s coming to visit again, maybe as soon as Tuesday.
According to Matt Zenitz from AL.com, it is looking like things could continue to move forward with Strong joining the Alabama staff in a support staff capacity, per sources.
Sources: Charlie Strong is expected to return to Tuscaloosa this week, possibly as soon as tomorrow.

Although we don’t know if Strong will be an added support role off the field or whether he will help call plays, Paul Finebaum shared his opinion on Monday on WJOX about why he thinks Strong is joining the staff:
“What I think is interesting about this is that Charlie Strong, the day he arrives on campus whenever he is hired, is the best defensive coach on that staff other than Nick Saban…. I think it’s pretty obvious what’s going on here. Nick Saban can continue to talk about – privately, he’s certainly not talking publicly about his current defensive coordinator, but I think I would find a way to get Charlie Strong calling the plays as fast as I could.”
Strong was a head coach at Louisville, Texas and South Florida. But most recently, Strong was an analyst at the University of Florida.
