He had the Crimson Tide mastering the running attack and play action pass game, en route to two BCS National Championships in 2009 and 2011. McElwain also helped the Tide crown its first Heisman Memorial Trophy winner in Mark Ingram in 2009.
Lane Kiffin gave Alabama’s offense an upgrade in 2014, making the Tide more attractive for dual threat quarterbacks.
