Paul Finebaum says Nick Saban is “settling” by hiring Brian Daboll as Alabama offensive coordinator

Alabama’s newest offensive coordinator hire is not piquing the interest of Paul Finebaum. The nationally syndicated radio host thinks that Brian Daboll is a conservative choice for Nick Saban’s Alabama offense.

Finebaum said as much during a Monday morning interview with “The Opening Drive” on WJOX-FM in Birmingham. He thinks that Saban could have done a lot better than he did.

“Saban is settling with Daboll,” Finebaum said. “He’s doing that because he’s tired of dealing with the Lane Kiffins of the world. I think he’s tired of running not only a great football program, the best in the country, but of running the kindergarten class in his coaching offices, so he wants someone who will come in and will do what he wants to do and I think it’s really that simple.
