Perhaps Dabo will allow Hall to coach the entire line, or perhaps he will bring in another coach from the outside to replace Bates. The bigger question is who Dabo will turn to as the new Recruiting Coordinator, which is obviously a critical position for any program, and National Signing Day is just about a month away.
