As head coaching vacancies in college football fill up with new names, Alabama fans are wondering how long until offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien gets a head coaching opportunity elsewhere.
Nick Saban hired him on Jan. 21, 2021, to coordinate the offense after Steve Sarkisian left for the Texas job.
O’Brien helped the Crimson Tide to a Southeastern Conference Championship in 2021 and a 10-win season this year; however, his lack of creative play-calling has frustrated Tide fans all season. He assisted Saban in crowning Bryce Young as the Tide’s fourth Heisman Trophy winner and its first quarterback in school history to win the honor.
