In his one season as Alabama’s quarterbacks coach, Dan Enos helped groom Tua Tagovailoa into a Heisman Trophy finalist.
His other high-profile protege — Jalen Hurts — improved his game dramatically and came off the bench in the SEC Championship Game to lead the Crimson Tide not only to a come-from-behind win over Georgia and a conference title, but another berth in the College Football Playoff.
When former Alabama offensive coordinator Mike Locksley left Tuscaloosa to take the head coaching job at Marlyand, all signs started pointing to Enos taking over as Alabama’s new offensive coordinator.
