Nick Saban cites ‘internal things’ holding up announcement of Freddie Roach to Alabama

When it comes to making sure her husband looks the part on camera, Miss Terry Saban is doing her thing.

For Nick Saban, the Alabama head coach is at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile (Ala.) this week for the Reese’s Senior Bowl. He’s watching four of his former players get evaluated by NFL coaches – including Jalen Hurts, who was the starting quarterback at Oklahoma last season.

After an 11-2 campaign in 2019, the 68-year-old is prepared to truly get the “Alabama factor” back on board. With reports on the Crimson Tide moving Brian Baker to an off-field role, rumors surfaced on social media that Freddie Roach would be his replacement at defensive line coach.
