The run of national championships is not over for Nick Saban at Alabama; however, the program is in a unique situation.
With it moving on from Scott Cochran, the Crimson Tide is trying to locate a new face to be its strength and conditioning coach. During the last two years, Saban has harped on the team returning to the “Bama factor” that made it a huge force in recent seasons.
Part of this mindset is reaching out to those that were successful at Alabama.
Mike McCoy could have easily bailed out and went elsewhere, but he was one of few Mike Shula recruits willing to buy into Saban’s message.
