Report: Ex-Houston HC Major Applewhite Joins Alabama Coaching Staff as Analyst

The Alabama Crimson Tide are reportedly adding a former head coach to their staff.

On Tuesday, Matt Zenitz of AL.com reported the SEC powerhouse hired Major Applewhite as an analyst. Zenitz noted Applewhite was Alabama's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under head coach Nick Saban in 2007 before leaving for Texas.

The new hire was most recently the head coach for the Houston Cougars, but the American Athletic Conference team fired him following the 2018 season, his second as head coach.
