Happy Thursday, everyone. As you undoubtedly heard, Alabama added a new OL coach in Doug Marrone, former head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
From a football standpoint, Marrone will play a key role in 2021 in building back up Alabama’s offensive line. The group will lose Outland Trophy-winning left tackle Alex Leatherwood, Rimington Trophy-winning center Landon Dickerson and starting left guard Deonte Brown. It will return fifth-year center Chris Owens, right guard Emil Ekiyor and right tackle Evan Neal — but Marrone will likely need to develop younger players to fill the other two starting jobs.
