Raiders' Sal Sunseri talks Alabama's 2015 national title run, Amari Cooper's mindset in Oakland

There wasn't a more animated Alabama football coach in practice than Sal Sunseri.

From 2009-11, he led the Crimson Tide outside linebackers before leaving for the defensive coordinator job at Tennessee. He went to Florida State for two years after that. Now, Sunseri is beginning Year 2 as the Oakland Raiders' linebackers coach.

As an Alabama assistant, he was off limits for interviews. But AL.com caught up with Sunseri on a cold day at Senior Bowl practice Wednesday in Mobile. A number of Crimson Tide topics were addressed chatting at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
