For those curious, here's a breakdown of this season's analyst stables at Bama and UT.
Bama had thirteen analysts this season:
three former CFB HCs: Charlie, Major and Stoops;
four NFL vets: Shiloh Keo (five-year vet), Nick Perry (six-year vet), Javier Arenas (six-year vet), Alex Mortenson (Chris Mortenson's son, UDFA that spent one year on Titans practice squad);
three former CFB players, all with prior GA/analyst/coaching experience: Gordon Steele (Kevin Steele's son, played DII ball and later OL coach at Murray State and GA at South AL and LSU); AJ Milwee (good QB at North Alabama and later a GA there and OC/QB coach at Akron); and Johnathan Galante (played under Beamer at VT and later a GA there); and
two "GA Joes": Bert Biffani (previously a GA with Jimbo at FSU and then aggy); and Patrick Reilly (previously a GA/analyst with 'Cuse and UCLA prior).
Compare that to UT's seven analysts, would be eight if you count Casey Horney (who's a QC coach, which many schools bucket with analysts) but he's a piece of shit and subtraction by addition:
one former CFB HC: Everett Withers (was HC of Texas State and had HC stops at James Madison and (interim) at UNC, also was DB coach at UT in Mack's early years and with the Giants year before taking UT analyst gig)
one other former CFB coach (not HC): Dave Huxtable (previously NC State DC/LB coach, has 35+ years of CFB coaching experience but none as HC);
one NFL vet: Jeremiah George (four-year vet);
two former CFB players with prior GA/analyst/coaching experience: Noah Joseph (played DB at Drake, previously coached safeties at Rutgers with Ash, before that safeties at North Texas, co-DC/safeties at Montana State and GA stops at Drake, E Kentucky and ISU); and J.W. Walsh (QB at OSU and later GA at TCU and RB coach at Abilene Christian); and
two former CFB players with no prior analyst/coaching experience: Brandon Harris (QB at LSU/UNC); and John Miller (played WR at James Madison under Meh and Everett Withers).
My advice to Sark after review: "You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers."
Say what you will about Charlies, Major and Stoops, but (unfortunately) they're collectively worth at least 1.25 Withers. An interesting distinction between their former CFB coaches is that theirs are in the category of relatively young former HCs looking for a restart, while both of ours have been coaching since the 1980s and are likely more in the "not much gas left in the tank, I'm going to enjoy the twilight of my career and at least collect a paycheck for it" category.
Other than that, aside for gross numbers at Bama, other distinctions I noticed are that Bama seems to place good value on NFL vets and we're lacking in that department. They also don't have any former CFB players without some previous stop in their coaching career, we have two. Clearly some work to do in both numbers and quality.
