Will the last Alabama assistant coach out the door please turn off the lights?
In case you missed it, it’s been a rough few weeks for Alabama head coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide. It started with a 44-16 loss to Clemson in the National Championship Game – a game in which Alabama was out-coached and look unprepared – and has continued in the aftermath.
Alabama defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi will be leaving to join the Cleveland Browns coaching staff, who recently hired former Alabama quarterback Freddie Kitchens to be their head coach.
Lupoi is the fifth assistant to leave Tuscaloosa since Alabama's loss to Clemson in the national championship, but the first coach on the defensive side of the ball to move on.
