2010 PREVIEW

ALABAMA

The Alabama Crimson Tide returns 10 starters and 39 lettermen for the 2010 season with 26 lettermen and eight starters on offense, 15 lettermen and two starters on defense while needing to replace all of the specialists. Headlining the returning starters for the Crimson Tide is 2009 Heisman Trophy-winning running back and unanimous first-team All-American Mark Ingram. The Tide offense also returns undefeated starting quarterback Greg McElroy, preseason Playboy All-American wide receiver Julio Jones and three starting offensive linemen. The defense will feature 2008 Freshman All-American Dont’a Hightower, who returns after missing the final 10 games of 2009 with a knee injury, and third-team Associated Press All-American safety Mark Barron. Alabama is also armed with one of the nation’s top freshman classes, a group that - combined with the returning roster - gives the Crimson Tide a potent squad that could be primed for a run at another Southeastern Conference title. The 2010 schedule is one of the toughest in the nation and will provide Alabama fans with some of the most exciting games in college football. A traditional rivalry is renewed with Penn State visiting Tuscaloosa on September 11 while the Tide will also travel to Duke for a non-conference clash. A dangerous visit to Arkansas opens the SEC slate on Sept. 25 before Alabama returns home for another clash with the Florida Gators in the first week of October. After SEC games at South Carolina and a visit from Mississippi, the Crimson Tide travels to Knoxville for the annual “Third Saturday in October” showdown with Tennessee. A trip to the Bayou is next as the Tide and LSU battle for what could be SEC Western Division supremacy. Mississippi State and Georgia State are next with the Iron Bowl scheduled for November 26 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

FOOTBALL

2010 PREVIEW Greg McElroy led Alabama to a 14-0 record and the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13th national championship in his first year under center for the Crimson Tide. He is 30-0 as a starting quarterback dating back to middle school.

ALABAMA

Alabama could feature one of the most dangerous and well-balanced offenses in school history in 2010. The Crimson Tide only needs to replace three starters from a 2009 unit that featured two All-Americans and the Heisman Trophy winner. Ingram returns to head the Crimson Tide attack along with McElroy, Jones and sophomore running back Trent Richardson. All McElroy did in his first year as the starting quarterback was lead the Crimson Tide to a national championship; throwing for 2,508 yards with 17 touchdowns with only four interceptions. Ingram rushed for a school record 1,658 yards with 20 total touchdowns as he etched his name into Alabama lore. Alabama must replace All-American left guard Mike Johnson, tight end Colin Peek and right tackle Drew Davis, but a slew of talented players are battling to step into those roles. Senior left tackle James Carpenter, junior center William Vlachos and sophomore guard Barrett Jones return to anchor the offensive line and all three are good enough to be in the discussion for the Outland Trophy. The likes of John Michael Boswell, D.J. Fluker, Tyler Love, Alfred McCullough, David Ross, Chance Warmack and several others are battling for the two open jobs along the line. All three starting wide receivers also return with Julio Jones, Marquis Maze and Darius Hanks forming a potent combination on the outside. Jones led all Tide receivers for the second straight year in 2009, catching 43 passes for 596 yards and four touchdowns after grabbing 58 for 924 yards in 2008. Both Carpenter and Julio Jones were second-team All-SEC selections a year ago while Barrett Jones was a Freshman All-American. Sophomore Michael Williams returns at tight end after starting 10 games and catching three passes as a redshirt freshman in 2009. Joining Williams is a trio of talented and experienced tight ends, including Preston Dial, Brad Smelley and Chris Underwood. STARTERS RETURNING (8) Pos. Player Ht

2010 PREVIEW 10

ALABAMA

The Crimson Tide defense anchored Alabama’s run to the 2009 national championship, but the familiar names are gone and the 2010 defense must forge its own identity. The Tide defense, led by defensive coordinator Kirby Smart, returns just two starters from a unit that finished second nationally in total defense, scoring defense, rush defense, pass efficiency defense and was 10th in pass defense. The lone returnees are third-team All-American safety Mark Barron and the combination of Dont’a Hightower and Nico Johnson at middle linebacker. Hightower started 12 games in 2008 and the first eight games of 2010 before a knee injury derailed his season. UA must replace All-Americans Javier Arenas, Terrence Cody and Rolando McClain along with NFL first-round draft pick Kareem Jackson. But heavy losses for the Tide’s defense may not spell doom for Alabama in 2010 with a bevy of young and talented players waiting in the wings to step into starting roles. Leading that charge is junior defensive lineman Marcell Dareus, who produced a dominant performance in the Citi BCS National Championship Game win over Texas. Dareus should anchor the Tide’s front line with nose guard Josh Chapman and Kerry Murphy manning the middle and Luther Davis and Damion Square at the defensive end spot opposite Dareus. Young players like Brandon Lewis, Darrington Sentimore and Brandon Moore will also be counted on to preserve Alabama’s dominant front line in 2010. Hightower and Johnson return with starting experience in the linebacker corps, but expect the likes of Jerrell Harris, Chris Jordan and Courtney Upshaw to play a major role this season. Barron spearheads the Crimson Tide efforts in a secondary that must be rebuilt if UA is going to sustain its success. Youngsters like Dre Kirkpatrick, B.J. Scott and Phelon Jones could be ask to step into starting roles at cornerback while Rod Woodson, walk-on Will Lowery and others battle it out for the open job at safety. True freshman DeMarcus Milliner and John Fulton joined Alabama for spring practice and could play key roles in their first collegiate season. STARTERS RETURNING (2) Pos. Player Ht

2010 PREVIEW Julio Jones and a returning cast must replace All-America return specialist Javier Arenas, who was a mainstay returning kicks and punts during his career. Jones averaged 15 yards per punt return last season and has a 12.3 yards per return average in his career.

ALABAMA

The all-important special teams units from last season must be completely overhauled with the loss of record-setting placekicker Leigh Tiffin, four-year starting punter P.J. Fitzgerald and long snapper Brian Selman. UA must also replace the SECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time leading punt returner and kickoff return man, Javier Arenas. The punt return duties appear to be in good hands with Julio Jones, who returned five punts last season and has the most extensive experience. Behind him the Crimson Tide has numerous options, including players like Marquis Maze, B.J. Scott, Mark Ingram, DeMarcus Milliner and several others. Kickoff returns also appears to be in good shape with several players with the explosiveness and athletic ability to shine in the role. The prime candidates should be Jones, Ingram and Trent Richardson. All three have had some experience returning kicks over the past two seasons. The long snapping duties also appear to be in good hands with sophomore Carson Tinker stepping into that role. Alabama has two options at placekicker and could possibly employ both this season. True freshman Cade Foster joined the Tide in January and had the opportunity to adjust to college football during spring practice. He possesses a strong leg and excels at longer kicks. The other option is sophomore Jeremy Shelley, the only returning player with experience at the position. He made one extra point for the Tide last season and is accurate on shorter kicks. Walk-on Zach Goehler handled punting duties during spring practice and true freshman Jay Williams enters the fall looking to challenge for playing time.

His uncompromising dedication to excellence in every phase of the football program has already resulted in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13th national championship and is sure to yield long-term success for the Crimson Tide as evidenced by the improvement in each of his three years at the helm. A three-time National Coach of the Year, Saban has achieved resounding success as a head coach and has earned a reputation as an outstanding tactician, leader, organizer and motivator. Those qualities have sparked impressive turnarounds at every stop of his career. His teams have repeatedly exhibited grit, determination and resilience, often overcoming adversity to achieve victory. Sabanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistent approach and disciplined leadership is a proven recipe for success.

COACHING P E R SO N N EL

Named the 27th head football coach in UA history on January 3, 2007, Saban owns an overall record of 139-67-1 (.674) in 16 seasons as a head coach, having also led programs at Louisiana State (LSU), Michigan State and Toledo, as well as in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins. At each of his five stops, he has improved the winloss record in his first year when compared to the previous season. Prior to Saban’s arrival, those teams posted a combined average winning percentage of .387. In the first season with Saban at the helm, a .617 winning percentage was achieved. The 2009 season at Alabama turned out to be one of the most memorable in program history as the Crimson Tide put together a perfect 14-0 mark and won the 2009 BCS National Championship after defeating Texas by a score of 37-21 in the Rose Bowl. Saban has compiled a 124-50-1 (.711) record as a college head coach after season three at the University of Alabama. His Alabama team earned a spot in the title game with a resounding 32-13 win over defending National Champion Florida in the SEC Championship Game as the Crimson Tide moved to No. 1 in both major polls. The SEC Championship was the program’s 22nd – by far the most in league history. On December 12, 2009, more history was made for both Alabama and Saban when running back Mark Ingram became the first Heisman Trophy winner for both. Saban’s 2009 squad was well-represented when it came to other honors, as Rolando McClain received the Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker and six players earned first team AP All-American status – a record-high in college football. Joining Ingram and McClain were offensive guard Mike Johnson, cornerback Javier Arenas, nosegaurd Terrence Cody and placekicker Leigh Tiffin. After the perfect season concluded, Saban was presented with the first-ever Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year Award. In addition to the on-field success, the 2009 Crimson Tide active roster featured a nation’s best 13 players who had already graduated. That number increased to 21 players with degrees for the bowl game. Alabama led the conference in terms of freshman All-SEC academic honorees as well with 12. Of the three SEC players to

be named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American Team, two were from Alabama as Colin Peek earned first team honors and Barrett Jones was a second team selection. Peek was the first UA players to be named to the first team since Kenny King in 2002. Saban’s first UA team finished 7-6 in 2007, but the 2008 season saw a different Alabama squad take the field. Saban’s influence had taken hold in Tuscaloosa, and behind a small and united senior class along with a talented group of newcomers, the Crimson Tide returned to national prominence. The Tide developed a reputation as the most physical football team in the country and methodically dominated the competition. Saban produced the largest win increase from year one to year two in school history as the Tide went from a seven-win team in 2007 to 12 wins in 2008. Alabama swept through the regular season schedule with a 12-0 record, moving to No. 1 in all of the polls and capturing the SEC Western Division Championship before falling late to Florida in a hard-fought SEC Championship Game. Their efforts earned them a trip to the Allstate Sugar Bowl for the 13th time in school history. Saban was named the 2008 Home Depot Coach of the Year at the ESPN Awards Show in Orlando and won several other national coach of the year honors including the FWAA/Eddie Robinson, Associated Press, Sporting News, Walter Camp Football Foundation, and Liberty Mutual. Lessons learned from the 2007 season, which was capped with a win over Colorado in the Independence Bowl, no doubt carried into spring and summer preparations for the 2008 run. The win also continued an impressive streak for Saban as he has never had a losing season as a college head coach. Of the six losses in 2007, none was by more than seven points. In addition to an improvement in the winloss column from the year pior, the 2008 signing class was rated by many analysts as the best in the country. Off the field, the focus on academics by Saban and his staff made an immediate impact as the 2007 team put together one of the finest fall semesters in school history. The freshman class set a solid foundation for their future at UA as they led the way with an impressive combined GPA of 3.098 in the fall.

Before arriving in Tuscaloosa, Saban’s most recent college head coaching stint was a fiveseason run at LSU which produced a record of 48-16 (.750), one national championship (2003), two Southeastern Conference championships, three SEC West Division championships, and a 3-2 record in bowl games including two Sugar Bowl victories and a Peach Bowl win. The Tigers constructed a 28-12 (.700) record against SEC opponents under Saban’s guidance. He was named the 2003 National Coach of the Year by the Associated Press and earned both the Paul W. “Bear” Bryant National Coach of the Year Award and the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award by the Football Writers Association

of America. Saban was named SEC Coach of the Year twice (by The Birmingham News in 2001 and by the Associated Press in 2003). Saban took over the Alabama program after serving two seasons at the helm of the Miami Dolphins. Saban’s teams showed marked improvement over the unit he inherited. Taking over a team that finished 4-12 in 2004, Saban led the 2005 Dolphins to a 9-7 record, the third-biggest turnaround in the NFL that season and the second-highest victory turnaround for a Dolphins team in any nonstrike season. Most impressively, the Dolphins finished 2005 on a sixgame winning streak, the longest streak in the NFL that season.

Prior to his stint at Miami, Saban’s impact on the LSU program transcended the success on the field. His commitment to building the total program, placing education first, instilling discipline and responsibility on and off the field transformed the Tigers into a force on the national stage. LSU produced 84 Academic All- SEC honorees in Saban’s five seasons, including 25 members of the 2003 national championship squad. LSU’s graduation rate for football players improved dramatically under his watch and two players, offensive tackle Rodney Reed (2002 and 2003) and offensive lineman Rudy Niswanger (2004) earned first-team Academic All-America honors. Linebacker Bradie James earned a postgraduate scholarship from the National Football Foundation in 2003. Saban also spearheaded a $15 million fundraising effort to fund a new academic center for student-athletes at LSU, and he and his players were active in community involvement in the Baton Rouge area, taking part in community service projects, visiting schools to mentor children and taking time to visit local hospitals on a regular basis. More than 50 of Saban’s LSU players earned their college degrees, in addition to 28 who were selected in the NFL draft, including seven in both 2004 and 2006.

ALABAMA

Named head coach at LSU on November 30, 1999, Saban led an immediate turnaround of a program that had suffered through seven losing seasons during the 1990s. His 48 victories over five seasons were the third-most among Division I-A head coaches during that time. Saban, Paul Dietzel and current LSU head coach Les Miles are the only coaches in the program’s history to post multiple 10-win seasons. Saban, Dietzel and Bernie Moore are the only head coaches in Tiger history to win two SEC championships. Saban’s 2000 Tigers rebounded from two straight losing seasons to post an 8-4 season, capped by a 31-20 win over 15thranked Georgia Tech in the Peach Bowl. Home victories over Tennessee, Mississippi State and Alabama highlighted the season, along with a key road win at Ole Miss. The 2001 Tigers improved to 10-3 overall and won the program’s first outright SEC title since 1986 with a 31-20 win over second-ranked Tennessee in

the SEC Championship game. An impressive second half against the Volunteers was a trademark of Saban’s coaching acumen as the Tigers outscored UT, 21-3, in the final half to erase a 17-10 deficit. The Tigers won the game despite the absence of starting quarterback Rohan Davey and running back LaBrandon Toefield. Sparked by one of the most prolific offenses in the nation, a unit that averaged 451.5 yards per game, the Tigers capped the season with a 47-34 defeat of Big Ten champion Illinois in the Sugar Bowl, LSU’s first victory in a New Year’s Day bowl game since 1968. Stifling defense was the trademark of the 2002 Tigers. LSU posted an 8-5 record and a second consecutive New Year’s Day bowl appearance. The Tigers, who faced Texas in the Cotton Bowl, held opponents to less than 275 yards per game through the season’s first six games and scored a school-record 30 or more points in six straight games that season. The Tigers barely missed winning a second consecutive SEC West Division title

as a last-minute comeback by Arkansas in the regular season finale prevented LSU from another appearance in the SEC Championship game. That LSU team overcame the mid-season loss of starting quarterback Matt Mauck, free safety Damien James and Toefield in successive weeks to make a run at an SEC Western Division title. Saban’s philosophy of “out of yourself and into the team” paid huge dividends in 2003. The Tigers produced a 13-1 record, won their second SEC championship and earned the school’s second national championship with a squad that was among the nation’s most dominant on both sides of the line of scrimmage. The LSU offense scored a school-record 475 points (33.9 points per game) while holding 13-of-14 opponents to less than 20 points. LSU’s defense ranked first nationally in points allowed per game (11.0) and total defense (252.0 yards per game). After a 7-1 start, LSU ended the season with six dominating victories by

an average margin of 35-10. An impressive 34-13 victory over Georgia in the SEC title game paved LSU’s way to an appearance in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) Championship Game against top-ranked Oklahoma. The Tigers produced a dominant defensive effort against the Sooners in the Sugar Bowl, limiting OU to 154 yards of total offense in a 21-14 victory. His final LSU team in 2004 overcame the loss of 13 players from the 2003 team who went on to NFL rosters, posting a 9-3 record while producing the SEC’s best rushing offense (200.7 yards per game). The Tiger defense ranked third nationally during the regular season in total defense (249.9 yards per game) and passing defense (145.4 yards per game), allowing only 15.9 points per contest. Over the last six games, the Tiger defense allowed only 12 points in the

second half on the way to a berth in the Capital One Bowl in Orlando against Iowa. LSU’s fourth consecutive January bowl berth, a first for the Tiger program. Saban served as head coach at Michigan State from 1995-99, his second stint at the East Lansing school as he also spent 1983-87 as the Spartans’ defensive coordinator/secondary coach. After playing in just one bowl game in the previous four years, Michigan State made four postseason appearances in Saban’s five years at the helm. Saban led MSU to a 34-24-1 (.585) record. In 1999, Saban led his final Spartans team to a No. 7 national ranking as MSU finished in a tie for second in the Big Ten. The Spartans defeated Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State in the same year for the first time since 1965 and recorded six wins at home for the first time since the 1912 season. The Spartans’ performance that

year landed them a spot in the Citrus Bowl. The Spartans led the Big Ten in rushing defense (77.0 yards per game) and total defense (299.0 yards per game) while ranking fifth nationally in rushing defense and 11th in total defense. The Spartans offense averaged 31.0 points per game. Saban was the first coach in school history to put the Spartans in postseason bowl games in each of his first three seasons as he led the Spartans to the Independence Bowl in 1995, the Sun Bowl in 1996 and the Aloha Bowl in 1997. Before joining the Spartans, Saban spent four seasons (1991-94) as defensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns under head coach Bill Belichick. The Browns went from allowing the most points (462) in the NFL prior to Saban’s arrival to allowing the fewest points (204) in the league in 1994, the sixth-fewest points surrendered in NFL history at the time. In each of Saban’s four years guiding the Browns’ defense, they never permitted an average of more than 19.2 points per game. He built a reputation as one of the finest defensive coaches

Saban’s first head coaching position came at the University of Toledo in 1990, as he guided the Rockets to a record of 9-2 that year, finishing as co-champions of the Mid-American Conference. The Rockets ranked among the NCAA leaders in both total defense (12th at 284.8 yards) and scoring defense (16th at 16.2 points), and missed posting an undefeated record by a mere five points. Saban joined Toledo after serving as secondary coach with the Houston Oilers for two seasons under Jerry Glanville (1988-89), his first NFL coaching position. He quickly made an impact on the Oilers’ defense, as the team’s secondary tied for fourth in the AFC in 1988 with 21 interceptions and tied for second in the conference in 1989 with 22. In his first stint at Michigan State, Saban served as secondary coach and defensive coordinator under George Perles from 1983 through 1987. Saban played an integral part in helping the Spartans to three postseason bowl appearances, including a

Big Ten championship in 1987 and a 20-17 victory over Southern California in the 1988 Rose Bowl. Michigan State led the nation in rushing defense in 1987, allowing only 61.2 yards per game, and ranked second in scoring defense, permitting just 12.4 points. A native of Fairmont, W.Va., Saban is a 1973 graduate of Kent State University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in business. He earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Kent State in 1975. Born October 31, 1951, Saban and his wife, the former Terry Constable, have two children, Nicholas and Kristen. Saban co-authored Tiger Turnaround in 2001, a book documenting his first two years as head coach at LSU, and co-authored How Good Do You Want to Be in 2005, a book that offers reallife principles for success at work and at home.

the Children’s Miracle Network, for which Terry and Nick raised more than $100,000 per year for children. At Michigan State, the Sabans started the Nick’s Kids Fund, which they have continued in Tuscaloosa, a vibrant example of their continuing concern for disadvantaged children. Since Nick and Terry arrived in Tuscaloosa, more than $1 million has been distributed to well over 100 charities through the Nick’s Kids Fund. In winning the 2008 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award, Saban was awarded a $50,000 gift at the A-Day Game, which he designated for Nick’s Kids, as well as an additional $20,000 gift for the University of Alabama scholarship fund.

In addition to work as fund-raisers for LSU’s Student-Athlete Academic Center, the Sabans supported several charitable and civic projects in Louisiana. The largest of those efforts was with

In June of 2008, the Sabans announced a $1million gift to benefit Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-generation scholarship program.

Burton Burns begins his fourth spring with the Crimson Tide football program as associate head coach and running backs coach. In the BCS National Championship Game against Texas, Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson both rushed for 100+ yards to help lead Alabama to the school’s 13th title. The New Orleans native is regarded as one of the best coaches in college football and was named the FootballScoop Running Backs Coach of the Year following the 2008 season. In the last two seasons, Alabama’s starting tailbacks Mark Ingram and Glen Coffee have turned in two of the top single-season performances in school history. Under Burns’ guidance last season, Ingram was awarded Alabama’s first Heisman Trophy and earned unanimous All-America honors. Ingram set the school’s single-season rushing record with 1,658 yards and 17 touchdowns while adding 32 receptions for 334 yards and three more scores. Richardson, a true freshman, was the team’s second-leading rusher (642 yards, 6 TD) and was named a freshman All-SEC selection. The Tide also got some valuable production in 2009, especially on third downs, from senior Roy Upchurch. Upchurch earned an invite to the prestigious Senior Bowl at the conclusion of the season. Alabama ended the regular season 12th nationally with an average of 215.1 rushing yards per game. Burns also developed one of the nation’s strongest running games in 2008 as Alabama finished third in the SEC and 30th nationally with an average of 184.6 rushing yards per game. Coffee, a first-team All-SEC selection and third round draft pick of the San Francisco 49ers, led the way with 1,383 yards on the ground. That single-season total tied for second in school history and was third in the conference. In addition, Ingram was eighth in the SEC in rushing (728 yards), captured Freshman All-SEC honors and set a Crimson Tide rookie record with 12 rushing touchdowns. In his first year at Alabama, Burns helped first-year tailback Terry Grant set school records for rushing yards (891) and touchdowns (8) by a freshman in a season. Grant was a three-time SEC Freshman of the Week honoree, and was named to the SEC All-Freshman team as well as the Sporting News Freshman All-American team (honorable mention). An assistant coach at Clemson University for eight seasons before coming to Alabama, Burns was a major factor in producing six of the top 10 offenses in Clemson history as running backs coach for the Tigers. Burns tutored star runners such as 2005 ACC Rookie of the Year James Davis, 2006 freshman record-setter C.J. Spiller, Reggie Merriweather, Travis Zachery and Duane Coleman at Clemson and former New York Jet Jerald Sowell at Tulane. In 2006, Davis led the Tigers with 1,187 rushing yards on 203 carries and scored 17 touchdowns, while Spiller had 938 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. The Tigers averaged 5.7 yards per carry during the ’06 regular season. Burns spent eight seasons with head coach Tommy Bowden at Clemson after a four-year stint at Tulane that concluded with a 12-0 season in 1998. Over 14 seasons as a college assistant coach, Burns has regularly produced versatile running backs that have been effective in every phase of the game. His players have proven to be equally effective as pass catchers, as well as in the running game. Burns, 57, spent nine seasons as assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at Saint Augustine High School in New Orleans, La., before joining Bowden’s staff at Tulane. Burns helped lead Saint Augustine to district titles in 1987, 1992 and 1993, his second stint at the school. Burns’ first experience as a coach also was at Saint Augustine, where he served as an assistant from 1977-79 and helped the school win three more district championships on the way to consecutive state titles in 1978-79. Burns also coached at New Orleans’ Booker T. Washington High School in 1980 before a five-year stint as an assistant coach at Southern University in Baton Rouge from 1981-85. As a player, Burns played fullback (1971-75) at the University of Nebraska under head coach Tom Osborne. A member of three Cornhusker teams that won at least nine games, Burns participated in the Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl and Sugar Bowl as a player. He earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Nebraska in 1976. Burns is married to the former Connie Winder. The couple has three daughters (Amber, Christy, Erin) and a son (Damon).

Curt Cignetti joined the Crimson Tide football coaching staff in February of 2007 as receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. The last three signing classes have been listed by most major recruiting analysts among the top five in the country and that young talent helped propel Alabama to the school’s 13th National Championship last season. At wide receiver this spring, Cignetti will have a more experienced group of receivers as the top three statistically return in Julio Jones, Marquis Maze and Darius Hanks. Alabama looked for more diversity in the passing game in 2009 and the Crimson Tide receivers answered that challenge. Julio Jones again led the team in all three receiving categories (43 catches, 596 yards, 4 TD) but the team benefitted greatly as Maze and Hanks emerged as reliable targets and deep threats throughout the season. Maze joined Jones with 500+ receiving yards and finished second on the team in that category. Maze also led the team with five catches for 96 yards in the SEC Championship Game against Florida. In his second year at the Capstone, Cignetti coached Jones as he established school freshman records for receiving yards (924) and receptions (58). Jones was recognized as the Columbus (Ohio) Touchdown Club National Freshman of the Year, the AP Freshman of the Year in the SEC and also earned Freshman All-America honors. The true freshman had an outstanding performance in the SEC Championship Game against Florida with five catches for 124 yards. Cignetti coached D.J. Hall in 2007 as he established Alabama records for career receiving yards and receptions. Hall, who also set the school mark for single season receptions in 2007, was one of three SEC receivers to reach the 1,000-yard mark that year. Entering his 28th season in the college coaching ranks, Cignetti spent the seven seasons as tight ends coach, recruiting coordinator and quarterbacks coach at North Carolina State before coming to Alabama. He served as recruiting coordinator while coaching tight ends (from 2000-02 and 2005-06) and quarterbacks (2003-04). Among the players Cignetti coached during his tenure with the Wolfpack was the ACC Player of the Year, quarterback Philip Rivers in 2003. Prior to working with the Wolfpack, Cignetti spent seven seasons (1993-99) on the staff at the University of Pittsburgh. As recruiting coordinator during his three seasons at Pitt, he coached tight ends for the Panthers from 1993-96 and in 1999, and coached the quarterbacks in 1997-98. Cignetti was quarterbacks coach at Temple from 1989-92, coached quarterbacks at Rice from 1986-88 and coached quarterbacks and receivers at Davidson in 1985. Cignetti began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Pittsburgh in 1983-84. As a player, Cignetti played quarterback at West Virginia University from 1979-82. During his playing career, Cignetti played on teams that made consecutive bowl appearances in 1981-82 (1981 Peach Bowl and 1982 Gator Bowl). He was honored with the Lewis D. Meisel Award for academic excellence and the A.C. “Whitey” Gwynn Award for character while playing for the Mountaineers. Cignetti earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from West Virginia. He is married to the former Manette Lawer and the couple has three children: Curtis John, Carly Ann and Natalie.

Bo Davis begins his fourth season with the Crimson Tide football staff this spring as defensive line coach. Davis joined the Alabama staff after serving the 2006 season as an assistant defensive line coach and assistant strength and conditioning coach with the Miami Dolphins under Nick Saban. The spring will be important for Davis and the defensive line as he must replace all three starters from last year’s National Championship team. Davis’ 2009 defensive line was again the key in setting the tone for an Alabama defense that ranked second nationally and led the SEC in four major categories - rush defense (78.1 ypg), pass efficiency defense (87.7), total defense (244.1) and scoring defense (11.7 ppg). Senior nose gaurd Terrence Cody earned consensus All-America honors for the second straight season and was a finalist for the Lombardi, Nagurski and Bednarik Awards. Seniors Lorenzo Washington and Brandon Deaderick anchored the defensive end positions while sophomore Marcell Dareus emerged as a pass-rusher and led the team with 6.5 sacks. Dareus had a breakout game against Texas in the National Championship as he earned defensive MVP honors. The Alabama defensive line saw great improvement in 2008, which helped the Crimson Tide develop into one of the top defensive units overall nationally. Davis added Cody to the starting lineup at nose guard and the junior was named an All-American in his first season. Alabama ranked second nationally in terms of rush defense, allowing just 74.1 yards per game on the ground. UA also ranked among the top seven in the country in total defense (263.5 ypg) and scoring defense (14.3 ppg). Under Davis’ watch in 2007, senior defensive end Wallace Gilberry put together one of the finest seasons in Alabama history. Gilberry earned first team All-SEC status, leading the league in tackles for loss (27) and finishing second in sacks (10). Davis, 39, has a deep history in Southeastern Conference football. Prior to his stint with the Dolphins, Davis spent four years (2002-05) as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at LSU under Saban and current Tigers’ head coach Les Miles. A former All-SEC defensive lineman for LSU in the early 1990’s, Davis joined the LSU strength and conditioning staff as assistant coordinator in June of 2002. He joined the LSU staff after a stint at North Shore High School in Galena Park, Texas, where he served as an assistant football coach from 1997-2002.

Jim McElwain was named Alabama’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach by head coach Nick Saban on January 30, 2008, and his balanced offensive attack helped the Crimson Tide to a 12-2 mark in year one and a 14-0 mark in 2009, which featured a unit that totaled more yards from scrimmage than any offense in Alabama history (5,642). In the 37-21 victory over Texas in the BCS National Championship Game in 2009, McElwain utilized tailbacks Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson against the Longhorns as both rushed for 100+ yards and scored two touchdowns apiece in the Rose Bowl. Ingram was named the game’s MVP on the offensive side of the ball. Balance was again the key for the Crimson Tide in 2009 as the Tide utilized Heisman Trophy winning Ingram in both the run and pass game, including plenty of work from the “wildcat” formation. Alabama ranked 12th nationally in rushing yards per game (215.1) and 22nd in the country in scoring (32.1 ppg). First-year starting quarterback Greg McElroy was fourth in the SEC and 28th in the country in pass efficiency (140.6). McElroy, the MVP of the SEC Championship Game against Florida, boasted an impressive touchdown to interception ratio of 17-4 in the 2009 season. McElwain’s 2008 offense proved to be one of the nation’s most efficient and productive units. Alabama finished fifth in the SEC in scoring offense (30.1 ppg) and 35th nationally after ranking 64th (7th in the SEC) in that category in 2007 with an average of 27.1 ppg. In addition, quarterback John Parker Wilson saw his pass efficiency rating improve from eighth to fifth in the SEC and he was named a Johnny Unitas Award finalist under McElwain’s guidance. Wilson signed a free agent contract with the Atlanta Falcons and earned a roster spot in 2009. McElwain spent the 2006 season in the NFL as quarterbacks coach for the Oakland Raiders and served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Fresno State in 2007. He made an immediate impact, helping lead the Bulldogs to a 9-4 record. The Fresno State offense under McElwain averaged 419.5 yards per game (38th nationally) and 32.9 points per game (32nd) in 2007. That was a significant increase from the 2006 campaign when the Bulldogs averaged 338.2 yards per game in total offense and 23.0 points per game in terms of scoring offense. After Fresno State rolled up 571 yards of total offense and defeated Georgia Tech 40-28 in the Humanitarian Bowl, McElwain moved up to No. 18 in the Rivals.com national power rankings (offensive coaches). His quarterback, Tom Brandstater, finished 2007 with a passing efficiency rating of 140.5, which ranked 23rd in the country. Brandstater showed remarkable improvement under McElwain’s watch as he had posted a pass efficiency rating of 106.7 (89th) the previous year. McElwain served as the assistant head coach, receivers coach and special teams coach at Michigan State from 2003-05. The 2003 team reached the Alamo Bowl behind a receiving corps that set school records for receptions (312) and yards (3,510). He coached 2004 All-America punter Brandon Fields and kicker Dave Rayner, who led the Big Ten Conference in scoring. In 2005, five Spartan receivers had at least 28 receptions and the group combined to a set another school record with 24 touchdown catches. Prior to his stint at Michigan State, McElwain spent three seasons (2000-02) at Louisville as the receivers coach and special teams coach as the Cardinals earned bowl bids in each of those three seasons. He coached four first-team All-Conference USA selections at Louisville and also tutored three of the Cardinals’ all-time leading receivers, including Deion Branch and Arnold Jackson. From 1995-99, McElwain was the offensive coordinator, quarterbacks and receivers coach at Montana State. Under his direction, quarterback Rob Compson threw for nearly 7,000 career yards and a school-record 54 touchdowns. McElwain also coached the Bobcats’ all-time leading receiver Chip Hobbs, who caught 144 career passes for 2,060 yards and 18 TDs. Montana State led the Big Sky Conference in scoring in 1998, averaging 31.6 points per game. McElwain was at Eastern Washington from 1985-94 in a variety of capacities, starting as a graduate assistant and working his way up to quarterbacks and receivers coach. The Eagles made two NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances (1992 and 1995) and earned a share of the Big Sky Championship in 1992. McElwain coached EWU’s all-time leading receiver, Tony Brooks (2,969 career yards), who earned third team AP All-America honors in 1993. An all-state quarterback at Missoula (Montana) Sentinel High School, McElwain played quarterback at Eastern Washington from 1980-83 and earned his degree in Education from EWU in 1984. He and his wife, Karen, have three children, JoHanna, Elizabeth and Jerret.

A veteran coach with impressive credentials from the pro and college ranks, Joe Pendry begins his fourth year at Alabama serving as assistant head coach and offensive line coach. Pendry’s offensive lines at Alabama are credited with being among the nation’s best year in and year out. That success is a credit to Pendry as his formula for creating a unit based on toughness, unmatched preparation and an outstanding knowledge of the game gives the Crimson Tide the edge against opposing defenses at the line of scrimmage. Losing three starters, including All-Americans Andre Smith and Antoine Caldwell, seemed to be the biggest question mark for Alabama entering the 2009 season. Pendry took that challenge and put together a starting five that not only helped clear the way for a Heisman Trophy winning tailback in Mark Ingram, but also provided outstanding protection for first-year quarterback Greg McElroy. Left guard Mike Johnson earned All-America honors, giving Pendry three All-Americans in the last two years. Redshirt freshman Barrett Jones started all 14 games at right guard and was named a freshman All-American. Pendry’s experience was the key in the development of what many analysts regarded as the nation’s best offensive line in 2008. The group of Smith, Johnson, Caldwell, Marlon Davis and Drew Davis only missed a total of four starts between the five of them and cleared the way for one of the nation’s top rushing attacks. Smith won the Outland Trophy and was a as consensus All-American while Caldwell was also listed on several All-America teams. Johnson was also a second-team All-SEC selection. In 2007, Pendry saw Smith earn first-team All-SEC honors and win the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the league’s top offensive lineman. In addition, Caldwell was a second-team All-SEC selection playing all three positions on the offensive line. With 19 years of NFL coaching experience, Pendry joined head coach Nick Saban’s staff in January of 2007. Pendry has worked with six different NFL clubs and has been to the playoffs 11 times in his career. His most recent stop was with the Houston Texans, where he served as offensive line coach and offensive coordinator in 2004 and 2005. Prior to that, Pendry worked for three years under Dom Capers at the Carolina Panthers from 1995-97. Carolina posted a 27-23 overall record with one NFC championship game appearance over those three seasons. He has served as an offensive coordinator with four NFL teams (Houston, Carolina, Buffalo and Kansas City). A native of Matheny, W.Va., Pendry was a three-sport star at Oceana High School, excelling in football, basketball and track. He was an all-state selection in football and basketball and was the West Virginia High School Lineman of the Year in 1964. Pendry played two seasons at West Virginia University (1965-66) before a career-ending injury allowed him to become a student coach (1967-68) before becoming a graduate assistant coach in 1969. He remained on the WVU staff as freshman coach (1970), wide receivers coach (1971-72), offensive line coach (1973-74) and offensive coordinator (1976-77). Pendry also had collegiate coaching stints at Kansas State (1975), Pittsburgh (1978-79), and Michigan State (1980-81) before moving to the professional ranks. He was an assistant coach with the USFL’s Philadelphia Stars (1982-83) before becoming head coach of the Pittsburgh Maulers in 1984. In 1985, he began his NFL coaching career, where he spent 19 seasons. Pendry is a 1969 graduate of West Virginia University with a degree in physical education. Pendry and his wife, the former Sandi Barbera, have two children, Joe Jr., and Jill Koeppel, and five grandchildren (Sandra, Max and Katy Jo Koeppel; Jay and Casey Jane Pendry).

Jeremy Pruitt became the newest member of Alabama’s coaching staff in January of this year when head coach Nick Saban announced his hiring as an assistant coach on defense. Pruitt, a former defensive back with the Crimson Tide, will work with the secondary. The defensive backfield will be a point of emphasis this spring with the loss of starters Javier Arenas (CB), Kareem Jackson (CB) and Justin Woodall (S) following last year’s National Championship. Pruitt will have Mark Barron back at one of the safety spots and he will contend for All-America honors after leading the SEC with seven interceptions and finishing second on the team with 76 tackles last year as a sophomore. Pruitt joined the Alabama staff as Director of Player Development in 2007 after a successful stint as an assistant coach at Hoover (Ala.) High School. At Hoover, he served for three seasons as defensive backs coach with the final two as the defensive coordinator. He tutored a defense that helped the Bucs reach the Class 6A State Championship in 2004, 2005 and 2006, winning titles in 2004 and 2005. Pruitt served as an assistant coach under his father, Dale Pruitt, at Fort Payne High School from 200103. Pruitt began his coaching career as a student assistant coach at Alabama during the 1997 season, where he worked under defensive backs coach Curley Hallman. After one year on the UA staff, Pruitt joined his father’s staff at Plainview High School as defensive backs coach and defensive coordinator in 1998 and 2000. He spent one season as defensive backs coach at the University of West Alabama, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in 1999. During his collegiate career, Pruitt played at both Middle Tennessee and Alabama. He began his career at Middle Tennessee under legendary coach Boots Donnelly, where he was a two-year starter at safety and cornerback for the Blue Raiders. After his sophomore season, Pruitt transferred to Alabama where he played two seasons under Gene Stallings. As a junior, Pruitt played in nine games and recorded seven tackles. As a senior, Pruitt played in seven games as a backup defensive back and was a member of Alabama’s 1996 SEC Western Division Championship team that beat Michigan 17-13 in the Outback Bowl in Tampa. A two-time all-state defensive back, Pruitt helped Plainview High School to a 48-8 record during his four-year career. He earned All-State honors in both 1991 and 1992.

Kirby Smart begins his fourth spring with the Alabama football staff and third as defensive coordinator. A former standout defensive back and scholar-athlete at Georgia, Smart brings an impressive blend of college and pro coaching experience to the Crimson Tide. The 2009 season was a special one for Smart as he not only helped lead UA to the National Championship, but also took home the Broyles Award as the top assistant coach in the country. Smart will have a busy spring as Alabama returns just one player on defense, safety Mark Barron, who started seven or more games last season. The Alabama defense was again regarded as one of the top units in the country in 2009, leading the SEC and ranking second nationally in scoring defense (11.7 ppg), pass efficiency defense (87.7), rush defense (78.1 ypg) and total defense (244.1 ypg). In the BCS National Championship Game against Texas, the Tide recorded four interceptions and scored a defensive touchdown. Three players on Smart’s defense earned first-team All-America honors – Rolando McClain, Javier Arenas, Terrence Cody – while Barron was a third team Associated Press All-American. McClain captured the Butkus Award and Cody was a finalist for several national awards as well. The Alabama defense was rated among the nation’s best in 2008. The Tide finished third in total defense (263.5 ypg) and seventh in scoring defense (14.3 ppg) in the final NCAA stats. Senior captain Rashad Johnson earned first-team All-America honors as well as firstteam All-SEC recognition after intercepting five passes, including that were returned for touchdowns. Alabama recorded 15 interceptions in 2008 and brought back four of those for scores. Under Smart’s guidance in 2007, Johnson led the SEC with six interceptions and earned first-team All-SEC honors along with cornerback Simeon Castille. A third member of the Alabama secondary, Kareem Jackson, was honored at the end of the season as a second-team Sporting News Freshman All-American. Smart joined the Tide after spending the 2006 season as safeties coach with head coach Nick Saban and the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. Prior to his stint with the Dolphins, Smart spent six years on the collegiate level with Georgia (1999 and 2005), LSU (2004), Florida State (200203), and Valdosta State (2000-01). As the running backs coach at Georgia in 2005, the Bulldogs averaged 162.2 yards per game, the third-best mark in the SEC. Smart spent the 2004 season as defensive backs coach under Saban at LSU, where he tutored two NFL draft picks: Corey Webster (2nd round, New York Giants) and Travis Daniels (4th round, Miami Dolphins). That season, the Tigers allowed 157.2 passing yards per game, which ranked second in the SEC and fifth nationally. Smart was a graduate assistant coach under Bobby Bowden and Mickey Andrews at Florida State in 2002-03, having served as defensive coordinator/linebackers coach (2001) and defensive backs (2000) coach at Valdosta State the two previous seasons. He began his coaching career as an administrative assistant at Georgia in 1999.

Sal Sunseri, a former All-American linebacker at Pittsburgh, joined the Alabama coaching staff in January of 2009 after serving as the defensive line coach with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. As a member of the Crimson Tide staff, he holds the title of assistant head coach for defense and works with the linebackers. In year one at Alabama, Sunseri helped guide the Crimson Tide to the National Championship behind a dominant defense that ranked second nationally in four major categories – rushing defense, pass efficiency defense, total defense and scoring defense. Sunseri’s NFL experience with the pass rush helped Alabama greatly increase production in that area. UA totaled 32 sacks in 2009 and 98 tackles for loss, despite losing one of its best pass rushers in linebacker Dont’a Hightower early in the season to injury. Alabama was also well-represented on the AP All-America team with three defenders earning first-team honors, including Butkus winner Rolando McClain. Sunseri’s defensive line with the Panthers was regarded as one of the best in the NFL. Defensive end Julius Peppers, defensive end Mike Rucker and defensive tackle Kris Jenkins earned Pro Bowl honors during Sunseri’s tenure. He produced at least one Pro Bowl defensive lineman in five of six seasons as defensive line coach. The Panthers were among the top 10 in the NFL in terms of fewest yards allowed in four of his seven seasons and made three playoff appearances. Sunseri came to Carolina as a defensive assistant in 2002 and took over as defensive line coach in 2003. It was a seamless transition as the Panthers defensive line remained one of the best in the NFL in 2003 under Sunseri. Carolina ranked eighth in overall defense, 11th against the run and seventh in sacks per pass play. The defensive line accounted for 32.5 of the team’s 40 total sacks and also produced a pair of Pro Bowl players in Jenkins and Rucker. The Panthers’ defensive line has provided more than its share of superlatives. In 2006, the Panthers ranked seventh in yards allowed and seventh in sacks per play as two members of the starting unit, Peppers and Jenkins, were selected to the NFC Pro Bowl squad. In 2005, Carolina finished third in yards allowed, fourth against the rush and fifth in sacks per pass play. In 2008, Carolina ranked ninth in the NFL and fifth in the NFC in sacks (37.0) while also ranking 12th in the NFL and sixth in the NFC in scoring defense (20.6 ppg). Peppers earned his fourth trip to the Pro Bowl and established a new career-high with 14.5 sacks. Prior to his time at Carolina, Sunseri worked as the linebackers coach and special teams coordinator at Michigan State in 2001 after spending 2000 at Louisiana State under head coach Nick Saban in the same capacity. He coached at Alabama A&M in 1998 and 1999 as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach following three seasons from 1995-97 at the University of Louisville as linebackers coach. Working his way up the coaching ladder, Sunseri spent one year each at Illinois State as defensive coordinator in 1994 and Iowa Wesleyan as assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and special teams coach in 1993. He broke into coaching at his alma mater, Pittsburgh, in 1985 and coached the defensive line and linebackers before being named assistant head coach in 1992. Sunseri began his career at the University of Pittsburgh in 1978 as a walk-on and ended it as a team captain and consensus All-American as a senior in 1981. A three-year starter at linebacker, he helped the Panthers to a combined record of 33-3 and anchored a defensive unit that led the NCAA in total defense in 1980 and 1981. He was the defensive MVP in the 1982 Senior Bowl and was drafted in the 10th round by the Pittsburgh Steelers but had his pro career cut short by a knee injury in training camp. He received a bachelor’s degree in communications from Pittsburgh in 1982. Sunseri is married to the former Roxann Evans, who was a varsity gymnast at Pittsburgh. The couple has two daughters, Jaclyn and Ashlyn, and two sons, Santino (a quarterback at Pittsburgh) and Vinnie.

Bobby Williams begins his third spring in Tuscaloosa after being hired as Alabama’s tight ends coach and special teams coordinator in January of 2008. A veteran coach with both college and NFL experience, Williams is a member of Nick Saban’s coaching staff for the fourth time in his career as they have worked together previously at Michigan State, LSU and the Miami Dolphins. Williams had to replace a pair of senior tight ends from last year’s roster, but the Alabama offense did not miss a beat as transfer Colin Peek emerged as one of the team’s top targets. Peek earned second-team Associated Press All-SEC honors with 26 catches for 313 yards and three touchdowns. He was also named a first-team ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American. Williams also oversaw Groza finalist Leigh Tiffin at place-kicker, who earned first-team AP All-America status, as well as Javier Arenas, who set the SEC career record punt return yards and touchdowns. All three were invited to the Senior Bowl with Peek and Tiffin accounting for all of the scoring for the South. Peek had a 19-yard TD catch while Tiffin kicked a pair of field goals and an extra point. Punter P.J. Fitzgerald turned in a career season for the Tide by averaging 41.5 yards per kick with 19 inside the 20-yard line. In year one at the Capstone, Williams led a pair of senior tight ends to the best seasons of their careers. Nick Walker made 11 starts and was second on the team in receiving with 32 catches, 324 yards and two touchdowns. Travis McCall started 12 games and was one of the team’s top blockers, clearing the way for an outstanding ground game. McCall, who also caught seven passes for 52 yards, represented Alabama in the Senior Bowl. The special teams in 2008 were a big weapon for the Tide under Williams. Arenas broke two punt returns for touchdowns and set the school record for career punt return yardage and punt return touchdowns. Tiffin was a Lou Groza Award semifinalist and connected on 20of-29 on field goals while Fitzgerald had a then-career-best average of 41.1 yards per punt with 15 inside the 20. Williams spent the 2005 and 2006 seasons as the running backs coach with the Dolphins. In his first season, Miami averaged 118.6 yards rushing per contest, the second-best figure by the team over the previous 21 years (1985-05). Ronnie Brown led the team with 907 yards rushing, second-most among NFL rookies in 2005 and the second-highest total ever by a Dolphins rookie. Brown followed that up with 1,008 yards in 2006, which marked the first time a player in the franchise had rushed for 900 or more yards in each of his first two seasons. In 2004, Williams served as the associate head coach/wide receivers coach at LSU where he coached a pair of future NFL first round picks in Craig Davis and Dwayne Bowe. Both Davis and Bowe ranked in the top ten in the SEC in both receptions per game and receiving yards per game that season. Prior to LSU, he had a one-year stint with the Detroit Lions as wide receivers coach in 2003. Williams followed Saban as head coach at Michigan State, and served in that post from 2000-02. He led the Spartans to a victory over Florida in the 2000 Citrus Bowl after the 1999 season, in his first game as the school’s head coach. He also guided Michigan State to a 7-5 mark in 2001, his second full season as the team’s head coach, one which culminated with a victory over Fresno State in the Silicon Valley Football Classic, as he became the first coach in Michigan State history to lead his team to victories in his first two bowl appearances. He previously was an assistant on the Spartans staff from 1990-99, during which time he tutored the running backs under Saban. Michigan State backs produced nine individual 1,000- yard rushing seasons in Williams’ ten years in that post, a list which includes T.J. Duckett, Atlanta’s first-round draft choice in 2002. Williams got his start in the coaching profession as running backs/defensive backs coach at Ball State from 1983-84. He followed that with a five-year stop (1985-89) as offensive backfield coach at Eastern Michigan before heading off to East Lansing. Williams is a 1982 graduate of Purdue where he earned his degree in general management and was a four-year letterman for the Boilermakers. He started his career at running back before moving to the secondary and starting in his final three seasons. A tri-captain as a senior in 1981, Williams was a part of three bowl teams as a player. He then served one year (1982) as a graduate assistant at his alma mater. A native of St. Louis, Mo., Williams and his wife, Sheila, have a daughter, Nataly, and a son, Nicholas, a wide receiver for the Crimson Tide, who redshirted in 2009.

The booming voice you hear leading a pre-practice stretch or encouraging a Crimson Tide player to finish a workout session strong is that of Director of Strength and Conditioning Scott Cochran. The high-energy coach joined the Alabama staff in 2007 after spending three seasons with the New Orleans Hornets of the NBA as an assistant strength coach. He received one of the highest honors in his field when he was named the 2008 Samson Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year as featured in American Football Quarterly following Alabama’s 12-2 season in 2008. Prior to the start of spring drills, Cochran implements head coach Nick Saban’s offseason workout plan, which includes the wellknown “Fourth Quarter Program” -- a very important step in helping UA players develop physically and prepare for the upcoming practices. It is no coincidence that through improvements off the field in strength and conditioning, Alabama is known as one of the most physically dominant teams in the country. The main goal of the program is to win the fourth quarter and wear down your opponent as the game goes on. On the way to the 2009 National Championship, Alabama did just that as they won the fourth quarter by an astounding margin of 121-32. While in the NBA with the Hornets, Cochran’s duties included assisting with the exercise and strength conditioning programs to help players achieve and maintain optimal fitness throughout the NBA season. With the Hornets, he coached NBA standouts Chris Paul, Baron Davis, David West and Tyson Chandler. Prior to joining the Hornets staff, Cochran worked for his alma mater, Louisiana State, as an assistant strength coach in 2003 (13-1, BCS National Champions) and 2004 (9-3, Capital One Bowl). He was a graduate assistant in Baton Rouge from 2001-03. Cochran returned to LSU after starting his career in the strength and conditioning field at University Laboratory High School in Baton Rouge, La. He held that position from 1998-2001 before returning to LSU as a graduate assistant for all sports from 2001-03. Cochran was then hired on to the full-time staff for the 2003-04 season. A native of New Orleans, Cochran received a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from LSU in 2001 and added a master’s degree in sports management from LSU in 2003. Cochran was born on March 21, 1979, and is married to the former Cissy Schepens. They have a son, Beau, and a daughter, Savannah.

Willie Carl Martin joined the Alabama football staff as Director of Player Development (Academics/Strength & Conditioning) in March of 2007 after serving as head football coach at Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City since 2001. Martin’s role at Alabama is to help in the personal development of each student-athlete and see to it that they reach their full potential from an academic and physical standpoint. Martin compiled a 52-24 record in six seasons as head coach at Benjamin Russell. Previously an assistant coach for the school, where he coached Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens, Martin served 24 years in the Alexander City School System as a coach, teacher and administrator. A native of Alexander City, Martin joined the school system there in 1983 as a teacher and coach for Alexander Middle School. In 1985, he moved on to Benjamin Russell High School in a similar capacity and was elevated to head football coach in 2001. He led the Wildcats to the state championship in 2001 and was an assistant during the 1997 and 2000 seasons when they finished as runners-up. For the last four years, Martin has served on the Central Board of Control for the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA). A 1975 graduate of Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Okla., Martin was inducted into the NSU Athletic Hall of Fame in February 2007. He was a four-year letterman (1969-72) in football for NSU as an offensive lineman and earned All-America and All-Oklahoma Collegiate Conference First Team honors as a senior in 1972. After graduation, the Houston Oilers of the National Football League (NFL) drafted Martin. However, he chose to compete in the Canadian Football League (CFL) where his 10-year career featured stops in Edmonton and Winnipeg. Martin was named All-Pro in eight of his 10 seasons in the CFL, participated in six Grey Cup games and won two championships. Martin and his wife, Leslie Ruth, have two daughters, Carla and Kizzy, and one grandson, Malik.

Kevin Sherrer was hired by Alabama head coach Nick Saban as Director of Player Development on March 1, 2010. In this role, Sherrer will focus on the off-the-filed activities of Alabama’s football student-athletes and will serve as an important resource in balancing the demands of academics, athletics, community outreach, and their personal lives. Sherrer will also assist with the strength and conditioning program, as well as the peer intervention group. Sherrer played tight end at Alabama from 1993-95 and earned a letter in 1995. After graduating from UA in 1996, he spent two seasons at Tuscaloosa County High School as an assistant coach, which included a state title in 1997. In 1998, Sherrer returned to UA as a graduate assistant on defense for a three-year stint. The Crimson Tide won the Music City Bowl in 1998 and won the SEC Championship in 1999, resulting in a trip to the Orange Bowl. Sherrer earned his master’s degree in higher education from the University of Alabama in 2000. From Alabama, Sherrer spent four years at Spain Park High School (2001-2004) as an assistant coach on defense. He then served for five seasons at Hoover High School – two as a defensive assistant (2005-06) and three as defensive coordinator (2007-09). Hoover won a pair of state championships during Sherrer’s stay (2005 and 2009). Sherrer and his wife, Carrie, are the parents of twin nine-year old boys (Kaleb and Kyle).

The University of Alabama’s Director of Athletics since 1999, Mal Moore has made an indelible mark on one of the nation’s most storied athletic programs, leading a department that has enjoyed tremendous success athletically and academically while enjoying an unprecedented period of growth during his tenure. Through his guidance, Alabama’s athletic department remains focused on his vision of having all Crimson Tide athletic teams and student-athletes competitive at the highest level nationally while continuing to elevate athletic facilities at the Capstone to premier status nationally for all sports. During his tenure as Director of Athletics, Moore has overseen more than $200 million of capital improvements to University of Alabama athletic facilities. Those projects have encompassed the entire scope of all Crimson Tide athletic programs and have benefitted every Alabama student-athlete, coach, and administrator. Throughout his multi-faceted career, Moore has worked with a diversified field of constituents, from fellow coaches and former players, to fans and the business community. All of those experiences and relationships - in addition to his ability to unify those many constituents - have made him the ideal person to lead Alabama athletics in the 21st century. His leadership has been crucial in helping guide Alabama through a period that has been, at times, extremely challenging. His guidance and effort helped Alabama athletics weather the storm, while continuing to move in a positive direction toward a future that holds great promise. Moore’s dedication to, and love of, the University of Alabama was recognized on March 28, 2007, when as a permanent tribute to his lifelong contributions to The University of Alabama, the Board of Trustees of The University of Alabama System officially dedicated the facility formerly known as The Football Building as the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility.

106

Under Moore’s direction, Alabama’s athletic teams have produced two national championships, the 2009 football title and the 2002 NCAA gymnastics championship, as well as several Southeastern Conference championships, winning titles in football, gymnastics, men’s basketball, women’s golf, men’s golf, men’s cross country, baseball and softball; taking SEC tournament titles in both baseball and softball. Alabama athletes have earned some of the highest honors the SEC and NCAA have to offer, including SEC Athlete of the Year, SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, NCAA Top VIII, NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships and NCAA Sportsperson of the Year. These honors are over and above the individual conference and national titles that Alabama athletes continue to bring home to the Capstone on a regular basis. In addition to making his mark on Alabama, Moore has also had a national impact as a key member of several prestigious NCAA and college football committees. Moore has served on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, the SEC Athletic Directors Bowl Advisory Committee and the Big Six Conferences Minority Coaches Forum.

During a coaching career that spanned 31 years, Moore spent 22 of those at Alabama with stops at Montana State, Notre Dame and the NFL’s St. Louis/Phoenix Cardinals. At Alabama, Moore started as a graduate assistant under Coach Bryant in 1964, then as defensive backfield coach for six seasons (1965-70) before becoming quarterbacks coach from 1971-82, serving as the Tide’s first offensive coordinator starting in 1975. He would go on to coordinate all of the offensive plays for four of Alabama’s national championship teams (1975, 1978, 1979 and 1992). A 1963 graduate of The University of Alabama, Moore holds both an undergraduate degree in Sociology and a 1964 Master’s Degree in Secondary Education from the Capstone. Moore was born December 19, 1939, in Dozier, Ala. He and the late Mrs. Charlotte Moore have one daughter, Mrs. Steve (Heather) Cook of Scottsdale, Ariz., a granddaughter, Anna Lee, and a grandson, Charles Cannon.

Moore’s distinguished record of service to UA began more than 50 years ago when he joined the Crimson Tide football squad as a scholarship player for Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant from 1958-62. Moore has the distinction of being a part of eight national championship teams (1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979, 1992 and 2009) with the first coming as a player, the next six during his coaching career and the most recent during his tenure as director of athletics. As a player and coach, he was also part of 14 SEC championships and 27 bowl trips. He is the only individual connected with the Alabama program to be a part of eight national championships.

Alabama football boasts a rich tradition that dates back for more than a century. The winningest program in SEC annals, Alabama has won 22 SEC Championships and 13 National Championships in its storied history. It all began with University of Alabama law student William G. Little, who learned how to play American football while attending prep school in Andover, Mass. Little began teaching the sport to fellow Alabama students in early 1892. Later in the year, the school formed an official team of 19 players, with Little as captain and E.B. Beaumont as the team’s head coach. Among those on the team was William B. Bankhead, future U.S. Speaker of the House, and Bibb Graves, future governor of Alabama. The team was referred to as the “Cadets”, the “Crimson White”, or simply as “The Varsity”. Following the 1907 season, the team adopted the “Crimson Tide” nickname. Shortly after the end of the 1922 season, in which he led Alabama in the victory over Penn, head coach Xen C. Scott passed away and Brown University alum Wallace Wade was hired as Alabama’s new head coach. Intent on building a dynasty after Wade led the team to its first national championship with a win over Washington in the 1926 Rose Bowl, University President Dr. George Denny took advantage of the team’s newfound popularity and began advertising the University of Alabama in metropolitan New York City newspapers. Students, football players and fans alike from the Northeast began enrolling at Alabama at such a rate that by 1930, over one-third of the student body was comprised of students from outside of Alabama. Wade led the Crimson Tide to two more national titles before taking the head coaching job at Duke in 1931. Frank Thomas, a former quarterback for a Notre Dame squad led by Knute Rockne, was hired to replace Wade. Thomas led the team to continued success and two more national championships before

FOOTBALL

health issues forced him to retire after a 14–year tenure with the team. Among the players that Thomas coached were Harry Gilmer, Don Hutson, and Paul “Bear” Bryant. Bryant returned to his alma mater as head coach in December, 1957, leaving Texas A&M. In his fourth season at the Capstone (1961), Bryant led the Crimson Tide to their sixth national championship, which included Bryant’s first bowl victory with Alabama. From 1961-66, Alabama went 60-5-1 (.917), won four Southeastern Conference Championships, enjoyed two undefeated seasons and won three national championships. During the 1970s, the Crimson Tide was one of the most dominant teams in college football history, winning eight conference titles and three national championships. Alabama posted a 103-16-1 (.863) during the decade. During his tenure at Alabama, Bryant led Alabama to a 232-46-9 record. His achievements included six national championships, 13 Southeastern Conference titles and 11 bowl victories. In 25 seasons as head coach, he led the Crimson Tide to 24 consecutive bowl appearances. At the time of his retirement, he was the winningest coach in college football history. Gene Stallings, a former member of Bryant’s famed “Junction Boys” at Texas A&M, had an amazing seven-year run with the Tide from 1990-96, leading UA to the school’s 12th national title in 1992. Alabama’s current head coach, Nick Saban, has already left his stamp on the football program at The Capstone entering his fourth season. The Crimson Tide went undefeated and claimed its 13th National Championship in 2009 with wins over Florida in the SEC Championship Game and Texas in the Citi BCS National Championship Game. In 2008, the Crimson Tide went 12-2. Alabama has posted a 26-2 mark over the last two seasons.

The 2010 expansion of historic Bryant-Denny Stadium’s has only enhanced its reputation as one of the top venues in all of college football. The latest expansion of Bryant-Denny Stadium expands capacity to more than 101,000, roughly 9,000 more than its previous capacity. The stadium ranks among the largest on-campus facilities in college football. “We have unbelievable fans, great fans that support this athletic department, support this University,” Athletics Director Mal Moore said. “We’re proud of the support that our alumni and our fans have given throughout the years, but this is one thing that says we need to enlarge the stadium because of the demand we are receiving from fans, visitors, and people that have supported us through the years.”

The 2010 expansion is the fourth expansion in 23 years for the stadium, which seated 60,000 as recently as 1986. The west upper deck, luxury suites and a renovated press box were added on in 1988. The east side upper deck and luxury suites were added in 1998, as was a giant video scoreboard (which has since been disassembled and will be replaced with multiple video boards matching the north end zone). The Crimson Tide has played all its home games in Tuscaloosa since the 2004 season, with season ticket demand growing each year, often exceeding 125,000 requests. As with all previous modern-era expansions of Bryant-Denny Stadium, the current renovation project has been funded entirely through private donations and not with taxpayer dollars.

The South End Zone Expansion includes the addition of new spectator seating, VIP spaces, Crimson Tide Foundation Donor Recognition, and an open-air market. The 230,000-square foot, eight-story expansion includes upper deck seating for more than 8,000 fans; 36 skyboxes with seating for more than 600 patrons; and club level with seating for 1,700 fans. Overlooking Bryant Drive, the project presents a classically designed facade and utilizes a traditional palette of red brick, architectural precast, concrete, and glass.

Nick Saban’s 2009 National Championship team had the perfect combination of suffocating defense, a potent rushing attack, a winning quarterback and outstanding special teams. The Tide captured the program’s 13th national championship and the school’s 22nd SEC Championship with a 14-0 record. Alabama conquered every challenge placed in front of them, including a 32-13 thrashing of top-ranked Florida in the SEC Championship Game and a 37-21 triumph over Texas in the Citi BCS National Championship Game at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. The Crimson Tide produced a record six first-team Associated Press All-Americans and eight first-team All-SEC selections. Mark Ingram became Alabama’s first Heisman Trophy winner and Rolando McClain claimed the Butkus Award and the Lambert Award, given to the nation’s top linebacker. Ingram set a school record with 1,658 yards rushing with 20 total touchdowns while averaging 189.0 all-purpose yards and nine touchdowns in six games against nationally-ranked opponents. McClain led the team with 105 tackles while accounting for 14.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, four pass breakups and 14 quarterback hurries. First-year starting quarterback Greg McElroy completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,508 yards with 17 touchdowns. His 81.25 pass attempts for every interception thrown in 2009 was the second-best mark in SEC history, behind only Peyton Manning. The Crimson Tide knocked off six Top 25 opponents on the way to the national championship with wins over No. 7 Virginia Tech, No. 16 Mississippi, No. 22 South Carolina, No. 9 LSU, No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Texas. Maybe the Tide’s toughest wins came in hotly contested games with rivals Tennessee and Auburn. UA used two blocked field goals by Terrence Cody against the Vols to escape with a 12-10 win and then used a fourth-quarter drive, engineered McElroy, for a 26-21 win over the Tigers on the Plains.

Alabama boasts a rich and storied football history. Alabama has won 13 national championships, 26 conference championships, had 97 firstteam All-Americans, 21 members of the College Football Hall of Fame and numerous national award winners. But until 2009, Alabama had never laid claim to the most celebrated and sought-after award in college athletics – the Heisman Trophy. The Heisman Trophy is a national symbol of the collegiate football experience and unmatched competitiveness. The Crimson Tide had been represented by numerous finalists over the years, but none of the first 74 Heisman Trophies found a home in Tuscaloosa. All of that changed as a sophomore from Flint, Mich., burst into the nation’s consciousness in 2009 breaking tackles all the way to the Nokia Theater in New York City’s Times Square where Mark Ingram became Alabama’s first Heisman Trophy winner. He edged out Stanford’s Toby Gerhart by 28 points to capture the most coveted award in college football, tallying 1,304 points and 227 first-place votes in the closest Heisman Trophy vote in the award’s 75-year history.

and 6 and a half inches in width. It was designed by New York sculptor Frank Eliscu, who was commissioned by the Downtown Athletic Club to create a figure of a football player in imperishable bronze to serve as an annual trophy award. Eliscu used his friend, Ed Smith, a starter on the New York University Football team, as the player model for his initial creations. However, reference to the award as the DAC trophy was only used once. Following the death of John Heisman in October, 1936 (Heisman at the time was the Director of Athletics at the Downtown Athletic Club), the award was renamed the Heisman Memorial Trophy. Today, the annual award involves the use of two statues. One is presented to the college football player selected for excellence and this remains the permanent possession of the winner. A second trophy is awarded to the school represented by the winner.

Ingram is the ninth player in Southeastern Conference history to win the Heisman Trophy and the second in the last three years, joining 2007 winner Tim Tebow (Florida). Other SEC winners include Frank Sinkwich (Georgia, 1942), Billy Cannon (LSU, 1959), Steve Spurrier (Florida, 1966), Pat Sullivan (Auburn, 1971), Herschel Walker (Georgia, 1982), Bo Jackson (Auburn) and Danny Wuerffel (Florida). Ingram produced a 2009 season that was one for the Alabama football history books. He rushed for a school-record 1,658 yards with 20 total touchdowns in 14 games for 118.43 yards per game average to rank 11th nationally and second in the SEC. Ingram added 30 receptions for 322 yards and three scores. His 1,992 all-purpose yards is the secondhighest single-season total in school history. Ingram also gained an astonishing 1,075 yards - or 54 percent of his all-purpose yards - after contact. His numbers climbed even higher when the Crimson Tide’s opponent were ranked in the top 25, accounting for 1,134 all-purpose yards or 189.0 ypg, six games against top-25 foes, including four against top-10 teams. Known as the DAC Trophy when it was first presented to Jay Berwagner, the legendary “one man gang” of the University of Chicago on December 9, 1935, the bronze statue depicts a football player side-stepping and straight arming a tackler. Cast in the highly artistic method known as the lost wax process of bronze medal molding, the statue weighs 45 pounds and is 14 inches long, 13 and a half inches in height

Former Alabama head football coach Gene Stallings was selected to the 2010 class of the College Football Hall of Fame. As head coach of the Crimson Tide from 1990-96, Stallings led Alabama to an on-field record of 70-16-1 (62-25 after eight wins were forfeited due to an NCAA ruling) while leading the Crimson Tide to the 1992 National Championship, one Southeastern Conference title (1992), four SEC West Division championships (1992, 1993, 1994 and 1996), five victories in postseason bowl games and four final top-10 national rankings. Under Stallings’ direction, the Crimson Tide posted a 28-game winning streak spanning the 1991-93 seasons. He coached 13 First-Team AllAmericans during his head coaching career. In 1992, Stallings was the National Coach of the Year, the American Football Coaches’ Association Coach of the Year, the Paul Bryant Coach of the Year and the Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year, and honor he earned twice at Alabama. A member of College Football Hall of Fame coach Bear Bryant’s “Junction Boys” as a player at Texas A&M, Stallings returned to his alma mater in 1965 as head coach. In his third season, the Aggies captured the Southwest Conference title and defeated Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. Stallings compiled a 27-45-1 record in seven seasons as head coach of the Aggies. After spending the next 17 seasons as an NFL coach, Stallings took over as head coach at Alabama in 1990.

Scouts from across the country find their way to The University of Alabama campus every year to test the agility, speed and power of the Crimson Tide players. Every player wanting to make it to the next level performs for the scouts in hopes of fulfilling their dream of playing in the NFL. In hopes of taking their careers to the next level, 18 draft-eligible Crimson Tide Alabama players had an opportunity to prove to scouts they were ready for the NFL. On March 10, 2010, all 32 NFL teams were represented at Alabama’s Pro Day in Tuscaloosa, including head coaches Tom Coughlin (New York Giants), John Fox (Carolina Panthers) and Rex Ryan (New York Jets). Media members were also in attendance, including the NFL Network and a host of other local and national media. “It’s a little bit like going from high school to college,” Fox said. “There’s a level jump, the season’s longer and the NFL is built to have parity, so that every game is competitive. I’d liken it to trying to see if a great high school player is going to make it at Alabama.” Members of the Crimson Tide spent the day with physical testing as well as interviews. Workouts started off in the weight room where each player was measured for height and weight, bench press repetitions at 225 pounds, as well as the vertical jump and broad jump. Some players who worked out at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis earlier in the spring chose to go with their combine results. After the weight room, media, scouts, players, and staff headed to the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility. Players were given the chance to run the 40-yard dash, the three-cone drill and the 20-yard shuttle while demonstrating their skills at various position drills. This gave NFL scouts and coaches a chance look at, in detail, each player and evaluate their performance at their specific position.

CRIMSON TIDE SPORTS NETWORK When Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide rolls, Bama fans will hear all the action on the Crimson Tide Sports Network (CTSN). More than 50 radio stations in Alabama and around the south will broadcast Alabama football games in 2010. CTSN is a joint venture of Learfield Communications and International Sports Properties. For the 21st football season, the voice of the Tide will be Eli Gold. A nationally known sportscaster, Eli is also the host of “NASCAR Live”, a weekly, nationally syndicated radio call-in show. He has also done play-by-play for NFL, Arena Football League and NHL games on radio and television. Former Alabama assistant Phil Savage will be the networks color analyst for the second season. A Mobile native, Savage has extensive NFL experience, as an assistant coach with the Cleveland Browns (under defensive coordinator Nick Saban), Director of Player Personnel for the Baltimore Ravens and Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Browns. Barry Krauss, an all-American linebacker for the Crimson Tide, will head to the sidelines in his third year on the network. Krauss, who led Bama to the national championship in 1978, was a first round draft choice of the Baltimore Colts in 1979, playing in the league until 1991.

Tom Roberts will celebrate his 31st season on the network this fall. He hosts the CTSN pre-game show and the game broadcast from the press box. Chris Stewart and Tyler Watts start and end the game-day broadcast on radio and handle the network’s tape delay telecasts and live pay-per-view telecasts. Stewart is in his eighth season on the network, where he is also the voice of men’s basketball and baseball. Watts, who starred at quarterback for Alabama from 1999 to 2001, begins his third full season on the network. The CTSN broadcast is produced by Tom Stipe, in his 27th season with the network. Stipe also serves as president of the Southeastern Conference Broadcasters Association. Butch Owens stands behind Gold every week as the spotter for his 21st year on the Bama crew. Brian Roberts begins his 12th year as the statistician for the broadcast. Jim Carabin oversees the Bama broadcasts in his role as general manager of Crimson Tide Sports Marketing.

“THE NICK SABAN SHOW” and “HEY, COACH” Alabama fans again will have an opportunity to talk with Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban each Thursday night on his weekly radio show. Tom Roberts hosts the 60-minute coaches’ call-in show following “Hey, Coach” each Thursday night at 6:30 p.m. The first broadcast is set for August 13. Fans can join the program by calling toll-free 877-202-BAMA (2262). “CRIMSON TIDE TODAY” Crimson Tide fans keep up with all of Bama’s players and coaches each weekday on “Crimson Tide Today”, a daily update on all University of Alabama athletic teams with Tom Roberts. “THE NICK SABAN TV SHOW” The Crimson Tide’s head coach will guide Alabama fans through the football season on his weekly television show, which is broadcast on stations in Alabama and the Southeast. Jim Dunaway of Birmingham’s CBS 42 will host the 30-minute TV show which features highlights, interviews and features with Alabama players.
