Will Rhea and Boullou only be football, or will they lend services to basketball and other programs as well?

@BamaFan334 While it's not by title Ballou has oversight as Dir of Sports Performance (another title for the position Cochran had.) Everyone else is either a Sr. Associate, Associate, or Assistant. SC. Guys like Snowden probably report to Hampton.
When it comes to the hierarchy I really haven't dug that deeply into who is over whom.
Those two are primarily football as I understand this to be.

I did some digging and this is what I found. Under Ballou, it's three people.
Then we have Jeff Allen and people who are assigned to Allen:
So, It sounds like Ballou, Rhea works with Allen for all sports involved. So the answer to the question: Yes.

| Matt Rhea | Director of Sports Science |
| Terry Jones | Senior Associate Strength and Conditioning Coach (Women's Basketball) |
| Michelle Martin Diltz | Senior Associate Strength and Conditioning Coach (Softball, Women's Golf, Cheer, Dance) |
Then we have Jeff Allen and people who are assigned to Allen:

| Dr. Ginger Gilmore-Childress | Director, Behavioral Medicine |
| Jeremy Gsell | Director, Football Rehabilitation Services |
| Erin Weaver-Cohen | Director, Rehabilitation Services |

Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see Athletic Trainer to work several sports all year around.

They don't have the time to work several sports. At least the ones I know didn't. That's why you see them specified through their different sports.
He falls more under Rhea than Allen. Their rehab programs are designed by Rhea (while they may, technically, fall under Allen's purview.) Rehabilitation and recovery strategies are examples of the primary reasons Rhea is in Tuscaloosa.
Dr. Gilmore-Childress is probably the most autonomous of the group. Her reports go through Allen, directives wouldn't. In a manner of speaking Amy Bragg works under her as well.
Pardon the analogy, but there are quite a few chiefs in this conversation.
