Having returning coordinators paying huge dividends for Alabama
Alabama in the Nick Saban era has more often than not, been treated as a one year rehab or step-up program for head coach creation in college football. No other team in the country has more turnover on his staff than Saban and no one has had more success with different assistants as well.
As recently as two years ago, Saban was tasked to replace a total of five assistants heading into the 2019 season which included both the offensive and defensive coordinators. But 2020 has been much different for the five-time national champion, in the offseason the Crimson Tide saw one assistant leave its staff in defensive line coach Brian Baker who was replaced by Freddie Roach.
