Timing of Bo Davis' Resignation at Alabama Is Concerning

Related Topics: Alabama Crimson Tide, Alabama

Unless there's an unforeseen emergency that requires more attention, this isn't typically the time of year in which assistant coaches resign.

Offers are going out, spring practice is either already in the books or wrapping up and plans are being made for the upcoming season.

That said, the coaching vacancy that now exits at Alabama should be concerning.

Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban announced the resignation of defensive line coach Bo Davis on Friday, less than two weeks after the defending national champions wrapped up spring practice.

"Bo Davis has submitted his letter of resignation," Saban said in a statement emailed by Alabama.
