Things are flowing smoothly for Bill O’Brien in fall practice as Alabama’s new offensive coordinator.
Some had doubts about him replacing Steve Sarkisian, especially after the debacle with the Houston Texans.
As he has done with others, Nick Saban took a chance on O’Brien and believes he can continue the offensive evolution of the Crimson Tide. Alabama has had six practices in fall camp, and Thursday was its first session in full pads. On Sunday, the Tide held its football media day at the Mal Moore Athletic Facility. Coach Saban, O’Brien, and Pete Golding all spoke to reporters via Zoom, and Saban had an interesting assessment on his offensive coordinator.
