Former Alabama running back, Bo Scarbrough gave a behind-the-scenes look at Nick Saban’s coaching hiring process on the latest episode of the Bama Standard.
Scarbrough played for Alabama from 2015 to 2017. He was a part of the Crimson Tide’s leadership team when the Crimson Tide had to search for a new offensive coordinator after the 2017 season. He reflected back on the conversation Saban had with him before hiring Mike Locksley as the Tide’s offensive coordinator.
“From being on the leadership team and being one of the guys that met with Coach Saban regularly, he is not the type of guy that would hire someone because everybody wants him to do it,” Scarbrough said.
