Bill O’Brien is the latest head coach at the University of Alabama to learn from Nick Saban.
He enters his first season as an offensive coordinator, and he inherits a talented quarterback room. After coaching elite names such as Tom Brady and Deshaun Watson in the National Football League, O’Brien now has the task of developing Bryce Young.
He played in nine games last year; however, the sophomore had a great spring and a strong A-Day performance.
Young, a native of Pasadena, Calif., posted an incredible high school career. He tossed for 13,250 passing yards with 178 total touchdowns at Mater Dei, but now he is trying to become the fifth first-year starting quarterback to lead the Crimson Tide’s offense to a national championship.
