Alabama’s offensive line valued toughness and physicality under Joe Pendry, Jeff Stoutland, and Mario Cristobal.
Kyle Flood brought more finesse to the Crimson Tide in 2019 and 2020, but it produced a Joe Moore Award winner and a national champion in 2020. After having Doug Marrone in 2021, Nick Saban returns to the blueprint. Respectable sources have confirmed with Touchdown Alabama Magazine on Marrone heading back to the National Football League. He was not a fit in Tuscaloosa, and Coach Saban has poached someone from the University of Kentucky with ties to the Southeastern Conference.
Eric Wolford, 50, brings a style that resembles Pendry and Stoutland.
