Rebilas-Imagn Images Happy Gump Day, everyone. Alabama’s new coaching contracts were approved, and Matt Stahl has a rundown for you. Several entries on Alabama’s board of trustees compensation committee meeting agenda, released on Tuesday, were expected.

Crimson Tide men’s basketball coach Nate Oats’ extension has been publicly announced , and new women’s basketball coach Pauline Love’s deal also needed approval. Some of the football assistants are new and also obviously needed their deals approved. However, the rest of the 17 contracts up for approval during a meeting scheduled for Wednesday were new.

Leading the way was football defensive coordinator Kane Wommack. All but three of the football team’s assistant coaches will get new deals approved. The exceptions include offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, running backs coach Robert Gillespie and defensive line coach Freddie Roach.
