Falcons legend makes shocking move towards first coaching opportunity

The Atlanta Falcons have seen their fair share of head coaching turmoil, but this is different. After UAB fired head coach Trent Dilfer on Sunday afternoon, Falcons legend and UAB alum Roddy White made it clear that he's interested in restoring the glory days at his alma mater.

Instead of promoting someone else for the job like Dez Bryant did for Falcons' OC Zac Robinson at Oklahoma State, White wants to capitalize on the opportunity. He played at UAB from 2001-2004 before the Dirty Birds selected him in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft—and now he's ready to return to where it all began.
