Nick Saban has appreciated each coaching staff he’s had at Alabama since 2007.
He has had assistants that performed double duties for national championship teams, but Saban appears to like the group he’s assembled to start spring practice. After falling short versus Georgia in the national title game, Saban hired four new on-field assistant coaches.
Alabama brought in Eric Wolford (offensive line), Travaris Robinson (cornerbacks), Coleman Hutzler (special teams coordinator/outside linebackers), and Joe Cox (tight ends). All four are well-respected in the Southeastern Conference and spent time under Will Muschamp at South Carolina. These coaches are excellent recruiters, teachers, and motivators for their positions.
