For the fifth time since 2016, the University of Alabama football program will embrace a new offensive coordinator.
After witnessing the success of Lane Kiffin, Brian Daboll, Michael Locksley and Steve Sarkisian, Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide have welcomed Bill O’Brien into the coaching rehab. The hire was made official via press release on Thursday, and the 51-year-old is motivated to get to work. He has giant shoes to fill as the coach he replaces was arguably the best assistant of the Saban era.
On top of this, he tutored Mac Jones, Najee Harris and DeVonta Smith to set records, win individual awards and become Heisman finalists.
