As Alabama head coach Nick Saban works to replace recently departed short-term offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, New England Patriots tight ends coach Brian Daboll has emerged as a leading candidate, sources tell ESPN.
It is not known how strong an interest Daboll has in the job, but he is among a handful of candidates to speak with Saban and has been to Tuscaloosa to interview.
Fox Sports first reported that Alabama planned to interview Daboll for the job that opened last week when Sarkisian abruptly left to take over as offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons.
