He previously served at UA for 16 years where he founded and directed an interdisciplinary research center. Immediately prior to becoming UA’s president, Dr. Bell was executive vice president and provost at Louisiana State University. During Dr. Bell’s tenure there and earlier at the University of Kansas where he served as dean of its College of Engineering, those institutions opened new facilities, and student recruitment, retention and success were emphasized. First joining UA in 1986 as an assistant professor in the UA College of Engineering’s department of mechanical engineering, Dr. Bell was named department head nine years later. With research interest in combustion engines, Dr. Bell has expertise in alternative fuels for engines, innovative engine designs and modeling of engine and engine processes. He directed UA’s Center for Advanced Vehicle Technologies. Dr. Bell was awarded the Society of Automotive Engineers’ Ralph Teetor Award for Outstanding Contributions to Research and Teaching in 1988. He was presented the T. Morris Hackney Faculty Leadership Award for the UA College of Engineering in 2001, and, in 2005, he received the Richard S.

BILL BATTLE DIRECT O R O F AT H L ET IC S

William R. “Bill” Battle recently completed his third year as Director of Athletics at The University of Alabama. Since taking the job on March 22, 2013, (succeeding the late Mal Moore, who had held the position since November 1999), Battle has not only maintained Alabama’s unparalleled athletics success, but also has placed increased focus on the primary mission of Alabama Athletics: to recruit and develop student-athletes to compete at the highest levels in intercollegiate athletics, to educate and prepare student-athletes to compete at the highest levels in life after graduation, and to accomplish both with honor and integrity. Battle took the job as Director of Athletics at Alabama after a career as a college football coach and entrepreneur that was consistently hallmarked by innovation and foresight. During Battle’s tenure, Alabama has produced two NCAA team national championships (men’s golf in 2014 and football in 2015); seven SEC team championships in five different sports (two in football, two in gymnastics, one in men’s golf, softball and women’s tennis); 15 NCAA individual champions (seven in 2013-14, six in 2014-15, and two at this writing in 2015-16); 27 NCAA Elite Award winners (13 in 2013-14, 14 in 2014-15); 26 Academic All-Americans (13 in 2013-14, 12 in 2014-15, and 1 thus far in 2015-16 – leading the nation in that category in both 2013-14 and 2014-15); and 16 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship awardees (a national-leading 7 in 2013-14 and 7 in 2014-15, and 2 thus far in 2015-16). Battle’s vision has impacted the Alabama Athletics Department in numerous ways over the last three years, particularly in revitalized fundraising efforts that directly enhance the daily experience of every Crimson Tide student-athlete. Battle spearheaded the redevelopment of Alabama’s historic baseball facility, Sewell-Thomas Stadium, transforming an aging facility into one of the nation’s most dynamic venues when the stadium opened in February, 2016. He also has led the drive for numerous other facility and departmental improvements, including a new

rowing facility and plans for a new aquatics facility. He has increased outreach efforts to keep students, fans, faculty, staff and stakeholders abreast of what is happening in Alabama Athletics. A native of Birmingham, Ala., Battle attended The University of Alabama on a football scholarship and enjoyed a successful playing career as a threeyear starter at end for the Crimson Tide under legendary head coach Paul “Bear” Bryant from 1960-62. Battle was a member of Bryant’s first national championship team at Alabama in 1961, and was a three-year starter. Generally regarded as the team’s best end throughout his playing career, Battle came to Tuscaloosa after starring in three sports at Birmingham’s West End High School. An excellent student, Battle earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology (minor in Psychology) from The University of Alabama in 1963 and a master’s degree in Education from The University of Oklahoma in 1964. He was an Academic All-SEC selection as a senior in 1962 and was selected to play in the Senior Bowl all-star game in Mobile, Ala., in January of 1963. He was named first team tight end and second team defensive end on The University of Alabama All Decade Team of the 1960s. Alabama won three national championships in the decade (1961, 1964 and 1965). Battle entered the coaching profession as a graduate assistant at The University of Oklahoma in 1963 under famed head coach Bud Wilkinson. In 1964 and 1965, he served as an assistant coach at the United States Military Academy while serving a two-year military tour. In 1966, he moved on to the University of Tennessee, where he served as an assistant coach under head coach Doug Dickey for four seasons (1966-69) until he was named head coach of the Volunteers in 1970. When he was named head coach, Battle was the youngest head coach in college football at the age of 28. During his seven-year tenure as head coach (1970-76), Battle’s teams went 59-22-2, finished three seasons ranked in the nation’s top 10 among five top-20 finishes and won four out of five bowl games. Battle’s Tennessee teams won 11 games once (1970) and at least 10 games in three different seasons (1970, 1971 and 1972). His first Tennessee team finished the season ranked fourth in both national polls. His 1971 team finished ranked ninth in both national polls and the 1972 Tennessee squad finished ranked eighth by the Associated Press and

11th in the coaches’ poll. Battle embarked on a career in the private sector after his coaching career ended. He held various positions within Circle S Industries in Selma, Ala., and served as president of two different companies, as well as vice chairman of the Circle S Holding Company Board. During his six years at Circle S, the organization grew from two companies earning $12 million in annual sales to 10 companies earning $60 million. Battle founded The Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) in 1981, and served as president and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) until 2002. He also served as chairman of the board of Licensing Partners International (LPI), which was created in 2001 to represent the licensing interests of noncollegiate sports properties, as well as corporate and entertainment properties. The companies were sold to IMG in 2007, but he continued as chairman of CLC and consultant to IMG until March of 2013 when he was called back to Alabama. A 1981 inductee into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, Battle was inducted as the first member of the charter class of the National Collegiate Licensing Association Hall of Fame in 2000. He was the recipient of the 2005 Paul W. Bryant Alumni Athlete Award at The University of Alabama and was inducted into the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers’ Association (LIMA) Hall of Fame in 2008. Battle received a National Football Foundation award in December 2008 for Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football. In June 2010, he was inducted into the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators’ (NACMA) Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, receiving its Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. He is slated to be inducted into the Sporting Goods Industry Hall of Fame in May of 2016. He currently serves on the boards of the BryantJordan Student-Athlete Foundation, The University of Alabama A-Club Educational & Charitable Foundation, the Crimson Tide Foundation, and the National Football Foundation. Bill and his wife, Mary, are part of UAB’s Stem Cell Institute Board and are both active in their support of UAB’s Department of Rheumatology. In their leisure time, the Battles enjoy life on their ranch in Georgia. Mary is an avid equestrian while Bill enjoys working on various projects around the ranch.

Saban 10th Year • Head Coach • Kent State, 1973

A man of vision who has a proven record of championship success, head coach Nick Saban returned the University of Alabama to the top of the college football landscape with his commitment to building the total program. After the victory over Clemson in the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship Game, Saban joined Paul “Bear” Bryant as the only two coaches to win five national titles in the modern era. In his 10th season in Tuscaloosa, Saban’s uncompromising dedication to excellence in every phase of the program has resulted four national championships over the last seven years. A six-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. Saban’s consistent approach and disciplined leadership are the reasons his teams are known for exhibiting grit, determination and resilience, often overcoming adversity to achieve victory.

COACHES/STAFF

Saban’s 2015 team secured the Crimson Tide’s fourth national championship in the last seven years. They became the first team to win backto-back Southeastern Conference Championships in 17 years (Tennessee, 1997-98) and are the only program to earn an invitation to each of the first two College Football Playoffs. Saban led his team to victories in the final 12 games of the season, including wins at No. 8 Georgia, at No. 9 Texas A&M, vs. No. 4 LSU, at No. 17 Mississippi State, against No. 18 Florida in the SEC Championship Game, vs. No. 3 Michigan State in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl and over No. 1 Clemson in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. The senior class won a school-record 50 games (50-6) over the last four years with three SEC Championships and two national titles. The Crimson Tide featured Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry, who also captured the Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year and Doak Walker Award. Ryan Kelly won the Rimington Trophy as the nation’s top center. Linebacker Reggie Ragland was a finalist for the Butkus Award, Nagurski Trophy and the Bednarik Award while A’Shawn Robinson was a finalist for Outland Trophy. The offensive line was also awarded the Joe Moore Award, which goes to the nation’s toughest line. All four of the Tide’s finalists garnered first team All-America honors, while Eddie Jackson was a second team selection. Henry set school records for rushing (2,219 yards), rushing touchdowns (28), rushing attempts (395) and all-purpose yardage (2,310). A trademark of Saban-coached teams, the Tide ranked among the nation’s best on both sides of the ball, checking in at No. 1 in the country in rushing defense, No. 3 in total defense, No. 3 in scoring defense and eighth in pass efficiency defense while averaging 199.9 rushing yards and 227.1 passing yards per game on offense. Special teams were also impressive in 2015 with Cyrus Jones setting the SEC record with four punt returns for touchdowns and place-kicker

Adam Griffith connecting on 23 of his final 28 field goals. Saban’s on-side kick call in the national championship game also proved key, propelling the Crimson Tide to the program’s 16th national title. In the classroom, the numbers were just as astounding, as UA had a nation-leading 29 graduates on the roster for the bowl game and three players with their master’s degree in hand. Saban has compiled a 191-60-1 (.760) record as a college head coach and has gone 98-12 (.891) in the past eight seasons in Tuscaloosa, which includes a 56-8 (.875) mark in regular season conference play. In 2015, the Tide reached the 10win milestone for the eighth consecutive season and won 11 or more games for the fifth straight year, which extended the conference record. With wins in the CFP National Championship Game and the SEC Championship Game this season, Saban is now 11-1 all time in conference or national championship games. When Alabama moved to the top spot in the AP poll at the end of the season, it marked the eighth straight year with at least one week at No. 1, which breaks the all-time record established by Miami (198692). Alabama extended its streak of consecutive weeks in the AP Top 25 to 130 weeks, the longest in school history. He is the first coach to win back-to-back BCS national championships and has won five titles in his last 11 years of coaching college football. Saban is one of three college coaches in the poll era (since 1936) to win three national championships in four years, joining Frank Leahy of Notre Dame (1946-47, 1949) and Tom Osborne of Nebraska (1994-95, 1997). He is also just the second (Leahy) to win four titles in seven years. He is the second coach in the poll era to win five national championships (Paul “Bear” Bryant). Saban, the 2014 Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year, led the Crimson Tide to the top seed in the first College Football Playoff at the 2015 Allstate Sugar Bowl, Alabama’s 24th SEC Championship and a 12-2 record. Alabama won its final eight games to earn a spot in the playoff, including a closing gauntlet that included wins at No. 14 LSU, over No. 1 Mississippi State, against No. 15 Auburn and versus No. 14 Missouri in the SEC Championship. The 2014 senior class finished with a 48-6 record over four years and went to four straight New Year’s Six Bowls, including national championships in 2011 and 2012. The Crimson Tide featured Heisman Trophy finalist and UA’s

first-ever Biletnikoff Award winner Amari Cooper and Nagurski Trophy and Thorpe Award finalist Landon Collins. Along with Cooper and Collins, Ray Guy Award finalist punter JK Scott, linebacker Trey DePriest and offensive guard Arie Kounadjio garnered first team All-America honors. SEC Championship Game MVP Blake Sims set school records for total offense (3,837 yards) and passing yards (3,487), while Cooper established UA marks in every receiving category. The Tide ranked among the nation’s best on both sides of the ball, checking in at No. 6 in the country in scoring defense and 15th overall in scoring offense. In the classroom, Alabama had 22 graduates on the roster for the bowl game (tied for the most in the nation) and seven players with their master’s degree in hand (first in the nation). Saban led the 2013 Alabama team to the Allstate Sugar Bowl, making a sixth straight New Year’s bowl appearance and the third straight in a BCS bowl. That senior class posted a remarkable record of 60-7 over their last five years with four bowl wins and three national titles. Their record in the classroom was just as impressive as 28 Crimson Tide graduates took the field for the bowl matchup with Oklahoma. Senior quarterback AJ McCarron was named a first team All-American, won the Maxwell and Unitas Awards, and finished as the runner-up in the Heisman Trophy voting while directing one of the most productive offenses in school history. On the other side of the ball, senior linebacker C.J. Mosley took home Alabama’s third Butkus Trophy and earned AllAmerica honors for the second straight year as he led a defense that entered the bowl game ranked second nationally in fewest points allowed. Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio joined McCarron and Mosley as first team All-Americans. Alabama remained at the forefront of the college football world in 2012 with an explosive offense and a retooled defense that maintained its place as one of the most dominant units in the nation. The Crimson Tide won the program’s 23rd SEC championship (the most in league history) with a victory over Georgia that propelled Alabama into the 2013 Discover BCS National Championship Game, where they soundly defeated Notre Dame by a score of 42-14 to earn the school’s 15th national title. For his efforts following the season, Saban was named the Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year, his

third such honor in his previous four years. Under Saban’s guidance, Alabama boasted a 978 APR score that ranked 11th nationally in 2012 and second in the SEC. The Crimson Tide also had a 75 percent graduation rate, which was among the best in the nation. The Alabama defense led the nation in rush defense (76.4 ypg), total defense (250.0 ypg), and scoring defense (10.9 ppg) in 2012. The Tide offense ranked 12th nationally in scoring at 38.7 points per game, 16th nationally in rushing at 227.5 yards per game and set a school record with 542 points scored in 2012. The Crimson Tide featured four first team All-Americans in 2012, including two along the offensive line in center Barrett Jones and left guard Chance Warmack. A pair of defensive standouts also earned All-America honors in cornerback Dee Milliner and Mosley. Jones captured the Rimington Trophy, presented to the nation’s best center, and the prestigious Campbell Award, as the student-athlete who best combined performance on the field, success in the classroom and service away from the field. The 2012 senior class set school and SEC records for wins, while garnering a 49-5 record since 2009, a mark that tied Nebraska’s NCAA record 49 wins from 199497. It also broke the Cornhuskers’ record (60 wins from 1993-97) for the most major college football victories in a five-year period with 61 (2008-12). The 2011 squad produced one of the most dominant defenses in the history of college football and captured Alabama’s 14th national championship with a 21-0 victory over LSU in the BCS National Championship Game. The Tide defense led the nation in all major categories, becoming the second team since national statistics have been compiled, and the first since 1986 (Oklahoma), to accomplish that feat. UA allowed only 8.2 points per game, 183.6 total

yards, 72.2 rushing yards, 111.5 passing yards and an 83.7 pass efficiency defense. Alabama finished with a 12-1 record. Saban’s 2011 senior class won 48 games over the span of four seasons (2008-11). Seven members of the 2011 Crimson Tide (including five on defense) were recognized as first team AllAmericans by major media outlets, while Jones took home Alabama’s third Outland Trophy and Heisman Trophy finalist Trent Richardson received the Tide’s first Doak Walker Award. The team was recognized with the Disney Spirit Award, which was presented to snapper Carson Tinker, for the team’s response in the community following a tornado that devastated Tuscaloosa on April 27, 2011. Jones also received the ARA Sportsmanship Award and the Wuerffel Trophy. Saban’s efforts earned him the Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year Award. The Tide also had extensive success in the classroom with 38 SEC Academic Honor Roll selections (a league record) and produced one Academic All-American in Jones. Despite a young roster that listed only eight scholarship seniors, the 2010 Alabama team finished with its third consecutive 10-win season following a dominant 49-7 win over Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl. Five players were named first team All-SEC by either the AP or the league coaches, while six more earned second team All-SEC honors. Most impressively, two players (quarterback Greg McElroy and Jones) were named first team CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-Americans, which marked two consecutive years in which Alabama boasted two of the three CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-Americans in the SEC. McElroy, the ESPN Academic All-American of the Year, was named a National Football Foundation National-Scholar-Athlete as a finalist for the Campbell Trophy.

COACHES/STAFF Coach Saban holding the 2013 BCS National Championship Trophy after defeating Notre Dame in Miami.

The 2009 season at Alabama turned out to be one of the most memorable in program history, as the Tide compiled a perfect 14-0 mark and won the 2009 BCS National Championship by defeating Texas, 37-21, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. Alabama 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 Tide moved to No. 1 in both major polls. The SEC championship was the program’s 22nd. On Dec. 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 also was prominent 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-America status — a college football record. After the perfect 2009 season concluded, Saban was presented with the first Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year Award. In addition to the on-field success, the 2009 Tide active roster featured a nation’s-best 13 players who had already graduated. That number increased to 22 players with degrees for the bowl game. Saban’s first Alabama team finished 7-6 in 2007, but the 2008 season saw a vastly improved 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 Tide returned to national prominence. Alabama 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.

50 2016 ALABAMA FOOTBALL

Alabama swept through the 2008 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. The team’s 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 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 yet to have 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 win column from the year prior, 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 academic fall semesters in school history. The freshman class set a solid foundation for their future at Alabama as they led the way with an impressive combined grade-point average of 3.10 in the fall. Before arriving in Tuscaloosa, Saban’s most recent college head coaching stint was a fiveseason run at LSU that produced a record of 48-16 (.750), one national championship (2003), two Southeastern Conference championships, three SEC Western Division championships, and a 3-2 record in bowl games with two Sugar Bowl victories and a Peach Bowl win. LSU 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) while at LSU. 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 thirdbiggest turnaround in the NFL that season and the second-highest victory turnaround for a Dolphins team in any non-strike season. Most impressively, the Dolphins finished 2005 on a six-game winning streak to end the year, 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 and instilling discipline with responsibility on and off the field transformed the Tigers into a force on the national stage. LSU produced 84 Academic AllSEC 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 (2003).

Saban also spearheaded a $15 million fundraising effort to construct a new academic center for studentathletes 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 (seven in both 2004 and 2006). Named head coach at LSU on Nov. 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 ranked third 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 titles. Saban’s 2000 Tigers rebounded from two straight losing seasons to post an 8-4 record, capped by a 31-20 win over No. 15 Georgia Tech in the Peach Bowl. Victories over Tennessee and Mississippi State highlighted that 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 the Vols 21-3 in the final half to erase a 17-10 deficit. LSU 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 2001 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 straight New Year’s Day bowl appearance. The Tigers, who faced Texas in the Cotton Bowl, held opponents to under 275 yards per game through the season’s first six games and scored a school-record 30 or more points in six straight games. LSU just missed winning a second consecutive SEC West 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 midseason 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.

COACHES/STAFF

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 per game) while holding 13 of 14 opponents to fewer 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 2003 SEC title game paved LSU’s way to an appearance in the BCS Championship Game against top-ranked Oklahoma. The Tigers produced a dominant defensive effort against the Sooners in the Sugar Bowl, limiting the Sooners to 154 yards of total offense in a 21-14 victory. Saban’s final LSU team in 2004 overcame the loss of 13 players from the 2003 squad 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 its final six games, the 2004 LSU defense allowed only 12 points in the second half on the way to a berth in the Capital One Bowl 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 only 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, finishing in a tie for second place 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. Michigan State led the Big Ten in rushing defense (77.0 ypg) and total defense (299.0 ypg) while ranking fifth nationally in rushing defense and

52 2016 ALABAMA FOOTBALL

11th in total defense. The MSU 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 Michigan State to the Independence Bowl in 1995, the Sun Bowl in 1996 and the Aloha Bowl in 1997. Before Michigan State, 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 in the league and also was heavily involved in the team’s player personnel and scouting process. 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 ypg) and scoring defense (16th at 16.2 ppg) 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 then tied for second in the conference in 1989 with 22 picks. In his first stint at Michigan State, Saban served as secondary coach and defensive coordinator under George Perles from 1983-87. Saban played an integral part in helping the Spartans make 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, (61.2 ypg) and ranked second in scoring defense (12.4 ppg). 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 Oct. 31, 1951, Saban and his wife, the former Terry Constable, have two children, Nicholas and Kristen. They have been married for 44 years and are enjoying

the company of their granddaughter, Amélie, a daughter-in-law Kelsé and son-in-law Adam Setas. Saban co-authored “Tiger Turnaround” in 2001, documenting his first two years at LSU. He then co-authored “How Good Do You Want to Be?” in 2005, a book that offers real-life principles for success at work and at home. In addition to their work as fundraisers for LSU’s Student-Athlete Academic Center, the Sabans supported several charitable and civic projects in Louisiana. The largest of those efforts was with the Children’s Miracle Network, for which Terry and Nick Saban raised more than $100,000 per year. At Michigan State, the Sabans started the Nick’s Kids Foundation, which they have continued in Tuscaloosa, a vibrant example of their continuing concern for disadvantaged children. Since Nick and Terry arrived in Tuscaloosa, nearly $6 million has been distributed to students, teachers and children’s causes at over 150 charities through the Nick’s Kids Foundation. The Sabans also have played a big role in tornado relief efforts in Tuscaloosa and the surrounding areas. Immediately following the devastating storm on April 27, 2011, Nick and Terry visited shelters where they paid for and served meals to those in need. Through Nick’s Kids, the Sabans joined with Project Team Up and Habitat for Humanity in helping to rebuild 15 homes lost in the tornado. After the Crimson Tide’s 16th national championship in 2015, the Sabans began work on the 16th Habitat for Humanity home. With support and donations from the Sabans, St. Francis Catholic Church broke ground on the Saban Catholic Student Center. In receiving the 2008 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award, Saban was awarded a $50,000 gift at the A-Day Game. He designated the gift for Nick’s Kids, as well as an additional $20,000 gift for The University of Alabama scholarship fund. In June of 2008, the Sabans announced a $1 million gift to benefit Alabama’s first-generation scholarship program. The gift has a special meaning to the Sabans, as both Nick and Terry were firstgeneration graduates.

DERRICK ANSLEY Secondary

First Year

TROY, 2005

COACHES/STAFF

Derrick Ansley rejoined Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide coaching staff as the defensive backs coach on Feb. 10, 2016. He spent the past four seasons as a secondary coach at Tennessee (2012) and Kentucky (2013-15) after a two-year stint as a graduate assistant for Alabama during the 2010 and 2011 seasons. Ansley inherits a talented group in the Alabama secondary for 2016. Safeties Eddie Jackson and Ronnie Harrison return along with cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey and Minkah Fitzpatrick to anchor the defensive backs. The unit returns 56 starts from a group that led the SEC and ranked 10th nationally in interceptions with 19 while ranking eighth in pass efficiency defense. Alabama returns 68 percent of its interceptions from last season (13 of 19) and 77 percent of its pass breakups from the secondary. Ansley spent the past three seasons at the University of Kentucky as the cornerbacks coach (2013-14), secondary coach (2015) and was promoted to co-defensive coordinator for the 2016 season before accepting the position with the Crimson Tide. Ansley, who served as a defensive graduate assistant at Alabama during the 2010 and 2011 seasons, helped the UK defense record a school-record six defensive touchdowns while creating 23 turnovers that ranked second in the SEC in 2015. He joined the Wildcats’ staff after spending the 2012 season as the defensive backs coach at Tennessee where he helped the Volunteers improve their national ranking in interceptions by 30 places. He came to UT in February of 2012 after accepting the position of defensive backs coach at Central Florida in December of 2011. Ansley’s two seasons in Tuscaloosa saw Alabama produce a 22-4 record and the 2011 BCS National Championship. The Crimson Tide went 10-3 in his first season at the Capstone, punctuated by a win over Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl. The Tide went 12-1 to claim the national championship in 2011, featuring the nation’s best defense, which ranked No. 1 nationally in scoring defense, total defense, pass defense and pass efficiency defense. He worked with All-

Americans Mark Barron, Dre Kirkpatrick and DeQuan Menzie during his time at Alabama. He spent five seasons coaching at NCAA Division III Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Ala., before taking the graduate assistant position at Alabama. During his tenure with the Hawks, Ansley helped guide the team to its first winning season and the school’s first playoff appearance. Huntingdon produced a winning record in four of the five seasons he was on staff with two eight-win campaigns. The year before Ansley got to Huntingdon, the team had 12 interceptions and 23 pass breakups. Those numbers improved to 15 interceptions and 44 pass breakups in year one. In Ansley’s final season with Huntington, the Hawks had 22 interceptions and an impressive 56 pass breakups. Ansley starred on the gridiron at Troy University in the early 2000s, starting 40 consecutive games for the Trojans. A defensive back by trade, he finished third in the nation in interceptions as a junior in 2003 with nine picks. Ansley then garnered first team All-Sun Belt Conference honors as a senior in 2004, Troy’s first season in the league. He graduated in 2005 from Troy with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism and worked toward a master’s degree in sports management in the human environmental sciences college during his time as a graduate assistant at Alabama. A native of Tallassee, Ala., Ansley and his wife Alaea have a daughter, Selena.

BURTON BURNS Assoc. Head Coach/RB

10th Year

Burton Burns is in his 10th season with the Alabama Crimson Tide football program in 2016 as associate head coach, running backs coach and special teams coordinator. The New Orleans native is regarded as one of the best assistant coaches in college football and was named the Football Scoop Running Backs Coach of the Year following the 2008 season. Burns was also named one of the nation’s top recruiters in all of college sports in 2011 by ESPN The Magazine. Over 20 seasons as a college assistant, Burns has produced versatile running backs who have been effective in every phase of the game. His players have proven to be equally effective on the ground and in the passing game. Few in college football can say they have coached a Heisman Trophy finalist, but Burns can claim a trio dating back to the 2009 season, including the 2009 recipient Mark Ingram, 2011 finalist Trent Richardson and 2015 winner Derrick Henry. In 2015, Henry stepped into the starting role and flourished with a school- and SEC-record 2,219 yards on 395 carries and 28 rushing touchdowns. His 2,219 yards was also the fifth-most in a single season in college football history. He also became just the third back in league history to record four 200-yard rushing games, while setting the Alabama record for 100-yard rushing games with 10. Henry also became the second Tide player to win the Doak Walker and Maxwell Awards and the first Tide player to capture the Walter Camp Player of the Year. Burns had a pair of running backs on the cusp of 1,000 rushing yards in 2014 with Henry leading the team with 990 yards while junior T.J. Yeldon finished with 979 yards on the ground. The pair both finished with 11 rushing touchdowns apiece, while Jalston Fowler exceled in his role at fullback, becoming the top fullback prospect in the 2015 NFL Draft. The Tide averaged 206.6 rushing yards per game in 2014. He turned in another masterful coaching job in 2013 with Yeldon cracking the 1,000-yard barrier as the back accumulated 1,235 yards and 14 touchdowns while backup sophomore Kenyan Drake accounted for 694 yards and eight scores, and true freshman Derrick Henry produced 382 yards on just 35 carries. Alabama ranked 25th nationally and fourth in the SEC in rushing offense, averaging 205.6 yards per game. Eddie Lacy, a second-round draft pick by Green Bay in 2013, earned NFL Rookie of the Year honors, rushing for 1,178 yards and 11 scores.

As injuries hammered away at the Tide’s depth at running back in 2012, Lacy and Yeldon stepped to the forefront and combined to rush for 2,430 yards and 29 rushing touchdowns (32 total touchdowns). The pair became the first Alabama running backs to rush for more than 1,000 yards in the same season. UA ranked 16th nationally in rushing and second in the SEC with an average of 227.5 yards per game. Under Burns, the 2011 Crimson Tide rushing offense ranked 16th in the nation and first in the Southeastern Conference, collecting 214.5 yards per game. In addition to being a Heisman Trophy finalist, Richardson became the first Alabama player to win the Doak Walker Award as the nation’s top running back. He was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Year, ranking fifth in the nation and first in the league with 129.2 yards on the ground per game. Richardson’s 21 rushing touchdowns, set the school record and tied for second in SEC history. He equaled the school and SEC record with 24 total touchdowns. Lacy finished the 2011 season ninth in the SEC with 56.2 rushing yards per game and seven TDs. In 2010, Alabama’s ground game accumulated 2,378 yards to rank 29th in the country. Playing in only 11 games each, Ingram led the way with 875 yards and 13 scores followed by Richardson’s 700 yards with six touchdowns. With two scores against Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl, Ingram set the Alabama career rushing touchdown record at 42. He finished his career fourth on the rushing yardage list with 3,261 yards in three seasons. Under Burns’ guidance in 2009, 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 scores. Richardson, a true freshman, was the team’s second-leading rusher (642 yards, 6 TD) and was a Freshman All-SEC selection. In the BCS National Championship Game against Texas, Ingram and Richardson both rushed for 100-plus yards to help lead Alabama to the school’s 13th national title. 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. Glen Coffee, a first team All-SEC selection and thirdround draft pick of the San Francisco 49ers, led the way with 1,383 yards on the ground. That singleseason total tied for second in school history and

was third in the conference. Ingram was eighth in the SEC in rushing (728 yards), captured Freshman All-SEC honors and set a Tide rookie record with 12 rushing scores. In his first year at Alabama (2007), Burns helped tailback Terry Grant set school records for rushing yards (891) and touchdowns (8) by a freshman. Grant was a three-time SEC Freshman of the Week honoree and was named to the Freshman All-SEC Team as well as Sporting News Freshman AllAmerica team (honorable mention). An assistant coach at Clemson 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, plus former New York Jets back 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 2006 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. He logged nine seasons as assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at Saint Augustine High School in New Orleans 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. His 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 other 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, La., from 1981-85. As a player, Burns played fullback (1971-75) at 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. 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 and Erin, and a son Damon. They have one granddaughter, Kendal Mackenzie, one grandson, Braylon and a son-in-law, Sylvester Anderson.

MARIO CRISTOBAL Asst. Head Coach/T&TE

Fourth Year

MIAMI (FLA.), 1993

COACHES/STAFF

Mario Cristobal is in his fourth season on the Alabama coaching staff as the assistant head coach and will shift over to coaching tackles and tight ends in 2016 while adding the title of recruiting coordinator. He joined the Crimson Tide in February of 2013 as the offensive line coach. He had been the head coach at Florida International University (FIU) for six years (2007-12). Cristobal’s 2015 unit proved to be the best in the nation, winning the inaugural Joe Moore Award, which is given to the toughest, most physical line in the nation. Senior captain Ryan Kelly, a first team All-American, was also honored with the Rimington Trophy as the nation’s top center. The line, along with Kelly, consisted of LT Cam Robinson, LG Ross Pierschbacher, RG Alphonse Taylor and RT Dominick Jackson, averaged 199.9 rushing yards per game and pass protected for another 227.1. He engineered another productive offensive line in 2014 with a group adept at opening holes on the ground while providing first-year senior quarterback Blake Sims ample time to throw the football. Led by first team All-American Arie Kouandjio, the Tide ranked 14th nationally and second in the SEC in fewest sacks allowed, surrendering an average of 1.14 per game, while rushing for 206.6 yards per game on the ground. Senior Austin Shepherd allowed just one sack at right tackle and Kelly developed into one of the country’s best centers. Cristobal also tutored Robinson, who became only the second player in school history to start at left tackle as a true freshman (Andre Smith, 2006) and earned Freshman All-America honors. The Alabama offensive line faced many challenges at the start of the 2013 season, replacing three starters from the 2012 season who departed to the NFL. Cristobal’s leadership melded together the 2013 line and produced another in a long line of outstanding Tide offensive fronts. Cyrus Kouandjio and Anthony Steen anchored the unit while Kelly (center), Arie Kouandjio (left guard) and Shepherd (right tackle) joined the starting lineup. Cyrus Kouandjio was a consensus first team All-American and garnered first team All-SEC honors along with Steen. As the season progressed, the group’s chemistry became apparent, surrendering just 17 sacks on the year to rank 23rd nationally in sacks allowed (1.31 per game). The Tide ranked 25th nationally in rushing offense (205.6 ypg), as the offensive line helped propel the Tide to an average of 454.1 yards per

56 2016 ALABAMA FOOTBALL

game (33rd nationally). UA averaged a schoolrecord 7.15 yards per play, the fifth-best average per play in the FBS and ranked 17th nationally in scoring offense (38.2 ppg). During his six years at the helm of the FIU program, Cristobal was regarded as one of the country’s top young college football coaches and was the architect of a successful program that went to back-to-back bowl games in 2010 and 2011. The 2011 season was the most successful year in program history with the school capturing a program-record eight victories during the regular season, along with milestone wins on the road at eventual Co-BIG EAST Champion Louisville and at home against Conference USA power Central Florida. FIU began its historic run during the 2010 season, when Cristobal led FIU to its first Sun Belt Conference championship and a bowl victory over MAC champion Toledo. For his efforts, Cristobal was named the Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year. He implemented his philosophy of hard work and dedication that paid quick dividends both on the field and in the classroom. During his time at FIU, Cristobal also proved to be an effective recruiter, with consecutive recruiting classes in 2011 and 2012 that were regarded among the best in the Sun Belt Conference. Cristobal’s teams at FIU produced such NFL talent as third-rounder T. Y. Hilton, second-round pick Jonathan Cyprien and Anthony Gaitor. Prior to accepting the head coaching job at FIU, Cristobal coached at the University of Miami for three years under head coach Larry Coker. The Hurricanes compiled a 24-12 record in that time, with appearances in the 2004 and 2005 Chickfil-A Peach Bowls and the 2006 Micron PC Bowl. Cristobal coached Miami’s tight ends in the 2004 and 2005 seasons, tutoring 2005 Buffalo Bills third-round pick Kevin Everett, 2006 free-agent signee Buck Ortega and 2007 Chicago Bears firstround selection Greg Olsen. In 2006, Cristobal took over a Miami offensive line that featured four new starters, including a true sophomore at left tackle and a true freshman at right tackle. Despite coaching a unit wrought with inexperience and riddled by injuries throughout the season, the Hurricanes offense saw a 39 percent decrease in sacks allowed from 36 to 22, only seven of which Cristobal’s line was deemed responsible. Following that season, junior guard Derrick Morse was selected honorable mention All-ACC and true freshman tackle Jason Fox was

named a second team Freshman All-American by Rivals.com. Fox was a fourth-round draft pick of the Detroit Lions in 2010. While coaching at Rutgers from 2001-03, Cristobal helped set the table for one of the biggest success stories in the past 30 years of college football. Cristobal worked under head coach Greg Schiano, coaching the Rutgers offensive tackles and tight ends for two seasons before shifting his focus solely to the offensive line in 2003. Cristobal was a critical factor in Rutgers’ resurgence to competitiveness and helped lay the foundation in recruiting and coaching for a program that went from obscurity to college football’s upper echelon in a matter of five years. During Cristobal’s tenure at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights improved from records of 2-9 and 1-11 to a 5-7 mark in 2003, the school’s best record since 1998. One of Cristobal’s most accomplished pupils was tight end L.J. Smith, the Philadelphia Eagles’ second-round pick in the 2003 NFL Draft and an eventual starter. Cristobal began his coaching career in 1998, when he joined the Miami staff as a graduate assistant, working with the Hurricanes for three seasons (1998-2000) under head coach Butch Davis. He helped his alma mater compile a 29-8 record while winning three bowls and a pair of BIG EAST Conference championships in that time. A four-year letterwinner for the University of Miami from 1988-92, Cristobal played for Hall of Fame coach Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson. During his four years, the Hurricanes won a pair of national championships (1989 and 1991) while playing in two Sugar Bowls, one Cotton Bowl and an Orange Bowl. Cristobal was a first team All-Big East selection as an offensive tackle in 1992. Following his college playing career, Cristobal signed a free-agent contract with the Denver Broncos in 1994. He played for the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe in 1995 and 1996. The Miami native was a prep standout at Christopher Columbus High School. He graduated from Miami in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and later earned a master’s degree from Miami in 2001. Cristobal and his wife Jessica were married in June of 2006 and have two sons, Mario Mateo and Rocco.

BO DAVIS Defensive Line

Seventh Year

Bo Davis returned to Alabama in 2014 for his second stint as the Crimson Tide’s defensive line coach under Nick Saban. He spent four seasons with the Crimson Tide from 2007-10 before coaching the defensive line at Texas for three seasons (2011-13). Davis begins his seventh year on Saban’s staff at Alabama after originally joining the Alabama staff in 2007. Davis’ defensive line in 2015 was widely regarded as the best in the nation and proved it on a weekly basis throughout the season. His front, led by Jarran Reed, A’Shawn Robinson and Jonathan Allen, featured as many as eight players rotating among the three positions. Robinson was a first team All-American and an Outland Trophy finalist, while Allen and Reed were both All-SEC selections. Davis was also honored as the National Recruiter of the Year by Scout.com following the 2016 signing class. Reed recorded 57 tackles with 4.5 tackles for loss in 2015 while notching eight quarterback hurries and two pass breakups. Allen, who returns for his senior season in 2016, registered 12 sacks, which was the third-highest singleseason total in program history. Robinson added 46 tackles with 7.5 TFLs, 3.5 sacks, two pass breakups and a team-high 10 quarterback hurries. Dalvin Tomlinson and D.J. Pettway both came off the bench with Tomlinson leading all linemen with six pass breakups and Pettway adding two sacks. The Tide allowed a nation’s best 75.7 yards per game on the ground while ranking third nationally in sacks with 3.53 per game. Alabama was third in total defense (276.3 ypg) and third in scoring defense (15.1 ppg) He did a masterful job in 2014 as the Crimson Tide was forced to replace both starting defensive ends. Allen secured one of the jobs at end and turned in a first team All-SEC season while Robinson and Reed both started 12 games on the defensive line. Robinson was a second-team All-SEC selection while Reed earned honorable mention honors. Reed’s 55 tackles were the most by an Alabama defensive lineman since Wallace Gilberry in 2007. Brandon Ivory anchored the nose tackle position in the Tide’s base 3-4 defense, while Tomlinson and Pettway gave the Crimson Tide tremendous depth and play-making ability in the front. Led by the defensive front, Alabama’s 2014 defense ranked fourth nationally against the

rush, surrendering just 102.4 yards per game. The Tide led the nation allowing just five rushing touchdowns on the season, while recording 32 sacks, which was already 10 more than 2013. During his three years on Mack Brown’s staff at Texas, Davis’ defensive front was the backbone of the Longhorns’ defense. The 2013 unit was led by senior Chris Whaley and Malcom Brown. Brown finished third on the team with 12.0 TFL while Whaley scored two touchdowns. In 2012, Davis rotated five players at his defensive tackle positions who accounted for 31 tackles for loss. The 2011 Texas defensive line helped the Longhorns rank sixth nationally in rush defense, allowing just 96.23 yards per game. The defensive tackles group was led by first team All-Big 12 selection Kheeston Randall who was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the 2012 NFL Draft. The final season of Davis’ first stint in Tuscaloosa in 2010 saw the Crimson Tide defensive line rank 10th nationally in rushing yards allowed (110.2 ypg) while Alabama ranked fifth nationally in total defense (286.4 ypg) and third in scoring defense (12.5 ppg). Marcell Dareus anchored the line with 33 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. He was the third overall selection in the 2011 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. 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 guard Terrence Cody earned consensus AllAmerica 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 Dareus emerged as a passrusher as a sophomore 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, Gilberry, a senior defensive end, put together one of the finest seasons in Alabama history. He earned first team All-SEC status, leading the league in tackles for loss (27) and finishing second in sacks (10). Davis spent the 2006 season as an assistant defensive line coach and assistant strength and conditioning coach with the Miami Dolphins under Saban. He 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 1990s, 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. Davis played football at LSU from 1990 to 1992, earning second team All-SEC honors as a nose guard in 1992. He finished his LSU career with 90 tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery. As a senior in 1992, Davis started all 11 games at nose guard, recording 66 tackles, including four tackles for loss. A native of Magee, Miss., Davis graduated from LSU in 1993, and he then served as a graduate assistant with the LSU strength and conditioning program from 1995-1997. Davis and his wife, Omeika, have two sons, Bo and Jackson and a daughter, Juliana.

Key spent the past 11 seasons as an assistant coach at Central Florida, including the 2015 seasons as the Knights’ offensive coordinator and running backs coach. He originally started as a graduate assistant at UCF in 2005 Key was Central Florida’s offensive line coach for six seasons (2009-14), holding the title of assistant head coach from 2012-14. He also served six seasons as the Knights recruiting coordinator (2007, 2010-14). Key coached the tight ends from 2006-08 and added the role of special teams coordinator for the 2008 campaign. In 2012, 2013 and 2014, Key was selected as a national nominee for the Broyles Award, which is given out to the top assistant coach in college football. Key coached eight players to 16 all-conference selections during his time as the offensive line coach for the Knights. Jah Reid was a third-round pick in the NFL Draft and three more linemen have signed NFL free-agent contracts. During Key’s time in Orlando, the Knights participated in seven total bowl games and won four conference titles (2007, 2010, 2013 and 2014). Central Florida went 12-1 in 2013 and won the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl to finish No. 10 in the final rankings. . Along the way, UCF earned its first two wins over top-10 teams (No. 6/5 Baylor and No. 8/6 Louisville), and it did not allow a sack against Penn State, Louisville, UConn and Baylor. The UCF offensive line in 2013 paved the way for an offense unit that averaged 441.5 yards and 34.6 points per game, two of the highest marks in program history. It also helped provide plenty of protection for quarterback Blake Bortles, who would be named The American Conference’s Offensive Player of the Year. Key took over the offensive line for Central Florida at the start of the 2009 season and the progress the Knights’ offensive line made was quite evident. UCF improved from 229.5 yards per game in 2008 to 340.8 in 2009, one of the five-largest jumps in the nation that season.

LANE KIFFIN Offensive Coord./QB

Third Year

Lane Kiffin joined the Alabama staff on Jan. 10, 2014, as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach and has had recordbreaking success with the Crimson Tide’s offense in his two seasons. For his efforts, Kiffin was selected as a finalist for the 2014 Frank Broyles Award, which goes to the country’s best assistant coach. In 2015, Kiffin oversaw the development of quarterback Jake Coker, who finished his career 14-0 as a starter at Alabama and led the nation in completion percentage over the final 10 games of the season at 72.2 percent. Coker threw for 3,110 yards with 21 touchdowns, which ranks as the second-most single-season passing yards in school history. On the ground, Kiffin fed Heisman Trophy running back Derrick Henry the ball a school- and SEC-record 395 times for a record 2,219 yards and 23 touchdowns. Henry’s 2,219 yards was also the fifth-most rushing yards in a single season in college football history. One of Kiffin’s first responsibilities at Alabama was identifying a starting quarterback and then developing Blake Sims in 2014. With three-year starter and All-American AJ McCarron off to the NFL, Kiffin oversaw Sims’ rise to the top of the Alabama depth chart en route to a school-record 3,487 passing yards and 3,837 yards of total offense while completing 64.5 percent of his passes. Sims ranked tied for fourth nationally in total QBR (83.7) and seventh in passing efficiency (157.9). He not only proved proficient in the passing game but gave Alabama a running threat at quarterback not seen during Saban’s tenure in Tuscaloosa. Sims was selected second-team All-SEC, named to the Senior Bowl, tabbed as a finalist for the Manning Award and a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien Award. Kiffin’s offense ranked 17th nationally in total offense per game (484.5) while scoring an average of 36.9 points per game. The passing game averaged a school-record 277.9 yards per game (3,890) to rank 28th nationally and fourth in the SEC. His squad also ranked fourth nationally in third-down conversion percentage at 51.5 percent, ninth in first downs (340) and 10th in team passing efficiency (155.7). Amari Cooper won the Biletnikoff Award as the

nation’s best receiver, after catching a schooland SEC-record 124 passes for a UA-record 1,727 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns. He spent the previous three-plus seasons as the head coach at Southern California, where he compiled a record of 28-15. Kiffin’s 2012 USC squad went 7-6 overall and 5-4 in the Pac12 South, good for second place. Wide receiver Marqise Lee was a unanimous first team AllAmerican and won the Biletnikoff Award while also being named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year. Quarterback Matt Barkley, who won the Wuerffel Trophy, set conference records for passing yards and passing touchdowns. Kiffin led the Trojans to a 10-2 record in 2011 and a sixth-place finish in the final Associated Press poll. The team finished first in the Pac-12 South with a 7-2 mark. His 2011 USC offense produced a 3,500-yard passer, a pair of 1,000yard receivers and a 1,000-yard rusher. Three Trojans earned first team All-America honors (Matt Kalil, Robert Woods and T.J. McDonald) and five were named Freshman All-Americans. In his first year as the head coach at USC, Kiffin led the Trojans to an 8-5 record (5-4 Pac-10). Before his arrival, the Trojans were averaging 26.5 points per game in scoring offense and 389.1 yards per game in total offense. In his first two seasons, those numbers increased to 31.0 points per game and 431.5 yards in 2011 and 35.8 points and 456.8 yards in 2012. Prior to his tenure at Southern California, Kiffin served as the head coach at Tennessee in 2009. He led the Volunteers to a secondplace finish in the SEC East and an appearance in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. The Volunteers’ offense jumped at least 34 places in every national statistical category over the 2008 figures. Tennessee improved from 17.3 to 29.3 points per game while going from 268.8 to 383.5 yards per game in total offense. Kiffin came to Tennessee from the Oakland Raiders, where he served as head coach from 2007-08. At 31, he was the youngest head coach in the NFL’s modern era. Oakland’s offense significantly improved in his first year, up 7.2 points per game and 48.6 yards per game from 2006.

Prior to his first head coaching job, Kiffin spent six years as an assistant coach for Pete Carroll at Southern California, including two years as the offensive coordinator (2005-06). During his first tenure with the Trojans, USC captured two national championships and compiled a 65-12 record. Kiffin was promoted to passing game coordinator in 2004 and helped Matt Leinart win the Heisman Trophy as he passed for 3,322 yards with 33 touchdowns and just six interceptions. He took over as USC’s offensive coordinator in 2005 and led the Trojans to a scoring average of 49.1 points per game and 579.8 yards per game of total offense during his two years as offensive coordinator.

COACHES/STAFF

Tosh Lupoi begins his second season at the Capstone after joining head coach Nick Saban’s staff in 2015 as the outside linebackers coach. He served as an analyst for the Crimson Tide during the 2014 season after spending the previous six years at California and Washington. When spring practice opens in March, Lupoi’s unit returns several experienced veterans at outside linebacker including seniors Tim Williams and Ryan Anderson along with junior Rashaan Evans. The trio combined for 20.5 sacks last season. Alabama must replace Denzel Devall and Dillon Lee who combined for 32 career starts. In Lupoi’s first year with the outside linebackers in 2015, the Crimson Tide recorded the most sacks during the Saban era with 53, which ranked third nationally and was the second most in school history. The outside linebackers notched 22.5 by themselves, led by Williams’ 10.5. Devall and Lee started at the jack and sam linebacker spots with Williams, Anderson and Evans coming off the bench to provide a spark. Lupoi had previous experience in the 3-4 defense as an assistant coach at California and Washington, where he was responsible for coaching the defensive line as well as one of the outside linebacker positions. Lupoi was an analyst for the defense during the 2014 season for the Crimson Tide. Prior to that role, he served as the defensive line coach and defensive run game coordinator at Washington in 2012 and 2013. The Huskies ranked fourth in the country in sacks per game (3.15) in 2013 while ranking among the top four in the Pac-12 both years in scoring defense. Two of the players he coached at UW during that time earned All-America honors that season in outside linebacker Hau’oli Kikaha and defensive lineman Danny Shelton. Kikaha led the country with 19 sacks in 2013 while Shelton was tops among all interior defensive lineman with nine sacks on the season. Shelton would go on to be the 12th overall selection in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. Lupoi was the defensive line coach at California for four years, becoming the youngest full-time coach in Cal history when he joined the

BILLY NAPIER Wide Receivers

Fourth Year

Billy Napier is in his fourth season on the Alabama coaching staff as wide receivers coach. Napier joined the Crimson Tide staff after serving as the assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach at Colorado State in 2012 for former Tide offensive coordinator Jim McElwain. Napier was an offensive analyst for the Crimson Tide in 2011. Napier had to replace Amari Cooper in 2015 after the Tide’s career receptions leader was taken No. 4 overall in the NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders. Sophomore ArDarius Stewart, senior transfer Richard Mullaney and freshman Calvin Ridley emerged as the Tide’s go-to receivers after Robert Foster was lost in the third game to injury. Ridley led the team with a freshman-record 89 catches for 1,045 yards and seven touchdowns. Stewart added 63 grabs for 700 yards and four touchdowns, while Mullaney had 38 catches for 390 yards and five scores. His 2014 unit was led by Alabama’s first Biletnikoff Award winner Cooper, who caught a school- and SEC-record 124 passes for a UArecord 1,727 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns. He led the country in receptions (124), was second nationally in receiving yards (1,727), receiving touchdowns (16) and catches per game (8.9) while ranking third in yards per game (123.4). Cooper, a Heisman Trophy finalist and unanimous first team All-American, smashed all of the Tide’s career receiving marks with 228 receptions, 3,463 yards and tied the SEC record with 31 receiving touchdowns. Senior DeAndrew White provided Alabama with a dangerous and reliable target opposite Cooper with 40 receptions for 504 yards and four scores. Christion Jones was third on the team with 19 receptions (264 yards). In his first season as the Crimson Tide’s receivers coach in 2013, Napier built a deep and talented group of wide outs. Alabama had four players with at least 32 receptions, led by sophomore Cooper with 45 catches for 736 yards. The wide receivers accounted for 72.1 percent of the passes caught in 2013 and 20 of the 30 passing touchdowns. Kevin Norwood produced a career year with seven touchdowns and 568 receiving yards on 38 grabs. Jones also caught 36 balls for 349 yards and White hauled in 32 catches for 534 yards and four scores. Injuries forced Napier to go deep down the bench looking for quarterbacks during his one season in Fort Collins. The Rams saw three quarterbacks play significant snaps as the starter with Garrett Grayson going down early in the

season and M.J. McPeek following two weeks later, forcing redshirt freshman Conner Smith into action. The trio combined to throw for 2,520 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2012 as Colorado State won three of their final five games. Napier spent the 2011 season on the Alabama staff as an offensive analyst, helping the Crimson Tide win the 2011 BCS National Championship. The Tide ranked 16th in scoring offense, 30th in total offense and 17th in rushing offense in 2011. Prior to Alabama, Napier spent seven of the previous eight years in two different stints at Clemson. During Napier’s final two seasons at Clemson he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. At the age of 29, he became the youngest coordinator in Clemson history. In his first season as CU’s coordinator, the 2009 Tigers scored a school-record 436 points and collected 54 touchdowns (third-most in school history), averaged 5.73 yards per play (fourth best) and finished as the ACC Atlantic Division champions. Quarterback Kyle Parker was named a Freshman All-American and nine players Napier coached from 2009-10 went on to have careers in the NFL. Napier split his time from 2006-08 as Clemson’s recruiting coordinator. In those three seasons, he compiled two top-25 recruiting classes, according to Rivals.com, and in 2008, his class was tabbed as the second-best in the nation by ESPN.com. Known to his peers as a top recruiter, Napier signed several players who went on to the NFL, including Kavell Conner, Crezdon Butler, Brandon Thompson and Marcus Gilchrist. Fourteen players from Clemson’s 2011 two-deep roster were signed by Napier, including five who earned All-ACC honors. Napier was the 2007-08 tight ends coach at Clemson, helping lead the Tigers to two bowl games and a prolific offense. The 2007 season featured a 9-4 record and the ACC’s highestscoring offense. In his first year back with Clemson (2006), Napier worked primarily with the Tigers’ tight ends but also was responsible for the punt team and assisted in several specialteams capacities. The 2006 Tigers led the ACC in total offense, rushing and scoring offense, advancing to the Music City Bowl. Clemson averaged 410.9 yards per game and 32.7 points, more than doubling its opponent’s totals. Tight end Hunter Thomas started all 11 games for the Tigers, averaging 19.1 yards per reception. Michael Palmer, who Napier coached for three

seasons, went on to the NFL. He also worked with the special teams units, helping develop one of the most talented players in Clemson history, C.J. Spiller. In 2005, Napier spent one season as the quarterbacks coach at South Carolina State. The Bulldogs finished the year 9-2 and ranked among the nation’s best in several offensive categories, including: rushing (12th), passing efficiency (15th) and scoring offense (17th). S.C. State also had the country’s fourth-best turnover margin, committing only 11 turnovers, roughly one-third of the total from the previous season (32). Napier developed Cleve McCoy and molded him into the MEAC Player of the Year. He also recruited offensive tackle Johnny Culbreath, who became a unanimous All-America selection and was drafted by the Detroit Lions. Napier was offered the position of offensive coordinator after the 2005 season, but declined, instead taking over as the tight ends coach at Clemson. Napier began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Clemson in 2003-04. In 2003, he worked with video coordinating. The Tigers won nine games, including the Peach Bowl against Tennessee. The following season, Napier was the on-field graduate assistant on defense, and gained his first experience with recruiting off the field. As a player, Napier was a four-year letterwinner and two-time All-Southern Conference selection as the starting quarterback at Furman. The Paladins won two conference championships and in 2001, Napier’s junior year, advanced to the Division I-AA national championship game, losing to Montana. He completed 64.8 percent of his career passes, setting a school record. As the team captain during a record-setting senior season, Napier amassed 2,475 passing yards, also a Furman record, and was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award, given annually to the nation’s most outstanding FCS offensive player. Napier grew up in Chatsworth, Ga., and graduated from Murray County High School in 1998. He is married to the former Ali Gunn and the couple has a daughter Annie and a son Sammy Nelson.

Robert Lester, who started alongside Barron at safety, collected 39 total tackles, a pair of interceptions, five passes defended, one forced fumble and a blocked kick this season after leading the team in picks a year ago. The defensive backfield had a lot of new faces on the field in 2010 with the loss of starters Javier Arenas (CB), Kareem Jackson (CB) and Justin Woodall (S) following the 2009 National Championship. Under the tutelage of Pruitt, the young group came together quickly and helped Alabama lead the SEC in total defense, scoring defense and pass efficiency defense. The 2010 secondary was anchored by Barron, who was named a first-team FWAA All-American. He led the Tide with 75 tackles in 12 games in 2010, missing the Capital One Bowl with a shoulder injury. Lester also had a significant impact at safety earning second-team Walter Camp All-American honors and ranking second nationally with eight interceptions. At corner, Kirkpatrick was a second-team All-SEC pick, while Milliner was a Freshman All-American and Freshman All-SEC selection. 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.

SCOTT COCHRAN Strength & Conditioning

10th Year

The booming voice you hear leading a prepractice stretch or encouraging a Crimson Tide player to finish a workout session strong is that of Assistant Athletic Director for Strength and Conditioning Scott Cochran. The high-energy coach, who is a two-time national strength coach of the year, joined the Alabama staff in 2007 after spending three seasons with the New Orleans Hornets of the NBA as an assistant strength coach. Cochran has been on Nick Saban’s staff for all five national titles, as he served as an assistant at LSU in 2003. Cochran, in his 10th year at Alabama, is nationally regarded as one of the best in the area of strength and conditioning – and the performances of Alabama’s players on the field prove that to be true. He received one of the highest honors in his field when he was named the 2011 Samson Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year, as featured in American Football Quarterly. He earlier was named the Samson Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year following the 2008 season. Prior to the start of spring drills, Cochran implements Coach Saban’s offseason workout plan, which includes the well-known “Fourth Quarter Program” – a very important step in helping Alabama 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 the 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 scoring margin of 121-32. The Tide continued the trend of finishing in 2011, as it again dominated the fourth quarter en route to the program’s second national championship in three years with a 11118 fourth-quarter scoring margin. Cochran oversees Alabama’s 37,000-squarefoot weight room that is one of the largest venues of its kind in the country. The $9-million facility features 21,000-square feet on the first level and 16,000-square feet on the second level. The ground level comprises a weight room, highlighted by 20 combination racks

that feature platforms built into the ground for a level surface that provides a safer training environment. The weight room has a state-ofthe-art performance nutrition center to fuel Alabama student-athletes, plus physicians’ offices and strength and conditioning offices. While in the NBA with the Hornets from 2004-06, 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 worked with 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 then was hired on to the fulltime 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 three children, including one son Beau and two daughters, Savannah and Lucy.

BOBBY WILLIAMS Special Assistant to HC

Ninth Year

PURDUE, 1982

Bobby Williams, in his ninth season in Tuscaloosa, moves off the field for the 2016 season as the special assistant to the head coach. He spent eight years in Tuscaloosa as the Crimson Tide’s tight ends coach and special team coordinator. A veteran coach with both college and NFL experience, Williams is a member of head coach Nick Saban’s coaching staff for the fourth time in his career, also working together at Michigan State, LSU and with the Miami Dolphins. The 2015 season saw tight end O.J. Howard rank third on the team with 602 receiving yards and tied for third in receptions with 38. Howard earned Offensive MVP honors in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game with five catches for 208 yards and two touchdowns. Place-kicker Adam Griffith earned second team All-SEC honors after making 23of-32 field goals and averaging 63.2 yards on kickoffs with a career-best 55 touchbacks. JK Scott averaged 44.2 yards per punt with 21 over 50 yards and 25 inside the 20-yard line. In 2014, Scott, a true freshman was named a finalist for the Ray Guy Award and earned All-America honors after averaging 48.0 yards per punt to lead the nation. He led the nation in percentage of punts inside the 20yard line (54.2 percent) and net punting (44.67). Adam Griffith, in his first year as the starting place-kicker, hit 12-of-19 field goals. Christion Jones ranked 29th nationally and third in the SEC with an average of 25.0 yards. Howard led all tight ends with 15 receptions for 246 yards with Brian Vogler adding four catches for 18 yards and a score. Williams’ developed Howard into a Freshman AllAmerican and dangerous threat at tight end for the Crimson Tide as a true freshman. Howard averaged a team-best 19.2 yards per catch while grabbing two touchdowns. Williams’ guidance also helped Brain Vogler replace three-year starter Michael Williams at tight end with impressive results, while Jalston Fowler took over at h-back in the Tide offense. Vogler finished with eight catches for 71 yards and a touchdown, while Fowler was second on the team with five touchdown grabs on seven receptions. Senior punter Cody Mandell also flourished under Williams’ tutelage with a school-record 47.1 yard punting average on 39 attempts, while leading the nation in net punting at 42.4 yards per punt. Christion Jones ranked second in the SEC in both kickoff and punt returns, while Cade Foster handled field goal duties and connected on 12of-17 attempts. Williams was a nominee for the 2012 Frank Broyles Award, presented to the national assistant coach of the year. Alabama’s tight ends combination of Williams and walk-on senior Kelly Johnson performed well with 29 receptions for 222 yards and four scores. Jeremy

Shelley was the only kicker in the nation to not miss a kick, going 69-for-69 on extra points and hitting all 11 of his field goals. Mandell turned in a career season with a 44.3 yards per kick average with 19 punts inside the 20-yard line and 14 punts of more than 50 yards. In 2011, Williams’ tight end duo of Brad Smelley and Michael Williams combined for 50 receptions resulting in 547 yards. Smelley recorded a team-best four receiving touchdowns, while Williams tacked on another two scores. On special teams, Marquis Maze ranked ninth in the nation and third in the SEC, averaging 13.2 yards per punt return with one touchdown. Those numbers earned Maze a spot on the All-SEC second team as a specialist. Alabama ranked 19th in the nation in kickoff returns (24.1 ypg). The Tide allowed only 11 punts to be returned in 2011, for a total of 51 yards. Williams was instrumental in the development of Preston Dial in 2010, as the senior had a breakout season under his tutelage. On top of his exceptional blocking abilities, Dial hauled in a career-best 25 passes for 264 yards and three scores. Michael Williams also had an outstanding 2010 season as a dominating blocker on the edge in the Alabama running game, while catching eight passes for 100 yards and a touchdown. The veteran coach had to replace both kickers in 2010, with the losses of Leigh Tiffin and P.J. Fitzgerald. Mandell won the punting duties as a true freshman and averaged 39.2 yards per kick, knocking 13 inside the 20. Fellow freshman Foster split field goal duties with sophomore Shelley. Foster drilled seven field goals, including five over 40 yards, while Shelley handled the closer attempts. Trent Richardson ranked 29th nationally in kickoff returns and Maze was 16th in punt returns. During the 2009 national championship season, Williams had to replace a pair of senior tight ends from the 2008 roster. The Alabama offense did not miss a beat, as Colin Peek emerged as one of the team’s top targets, earning second team Associated Press AllSEC honors with 26 catches for 313 yards and three touchdowns. Williams also oversaw 2009 Lou Groza finalist Tiffin at place-kicker. Tiffin earned first team AP All-America status. Javier Arenas set the SEC career records for punt return yards and touchdowns. Fitzgerald had a career season for the Tide in 2009 by averaging 41.5 yards per kick, with 19 inside the 20-yard line. The special teams in 2008 were a big weapon for the Tide under Williams. Arenas broke two punt returns for touchdowns, Tiffin was a Groza Award semifinalist and connected on 20-of-29 on field goals, while Fitzgerald had a then-career-best average of

41.1 yards per punt with 15 inside the 20. Tight ends Nick Walker and Travis McCall combined for 23 starts, the best seasons of their career in terms of production. 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 game, the second-best figure by the team from 1985-2005. 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. Davis and Bowe ranked in the top 10 in the SEC for both receptions per game and receiving yards per game in 2004. Prior to LSU, Williams had a one-year stint with the Detroit Lions as wide receivers coach in 2003. Williams followed Saban as the head coach at Michigan State and served in that post from 200002. 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 head coach. That season 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. Previously an assistant on the Spartans staff from 1990-99, Williams tutored the running backs under Saban. MSU backs produced nine individual 1,000yard rushing seasons in Williams’ 10 years in that post, led by T.J. Duckett, Atlanta’s first-round draft choice in 2002. Williams earned his start in coaching as running backs/defensive backs coach at Ball State from 198384. He followed that with a five-year stint (1985-89) as offensive backfield coach at Eastern Michigan. 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, Williams and his wife Sheila have a daughter Nataly and a son Nicholas. Nataly earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in communications and information sciences from Alabama in 2010. Nicholas played football at Alabama and earned his Bachelor of Science degree in commerce and business administration.

ARLINGTON, Texas — The University of Alabama’s junior running back Derrick Henry had a career day, rushing 13 times for 147 yards and three touchdowns to lead the No. 3 Crimson Tide past No. 20 Wisconsin 35-17 in the Advocare Classic inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Henry opened up the game’s scoring, breaking off a 37-yard run in the first quarter to put Alabama ahead 7-0. He put up two more scores in the third quarter, including a 56-yard touchdown rush that put him over 100 yards for the night, the sixth time in his career he has eclipsed the century mark in a game.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The No. 2-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide opened its 2015 home slate in impressive fashion, forcing four turnovers en route to a 37-10 victory over visiting Middle Tennessee in front of 98,568 fans at Bryant-Denny Stadium. After a shaky opening quarter by both teams, the Crimson Tide was able to extend a 7-3 lead to a 23-3 halftime margin. Senior quarterback Jake Coker, who had another solid game, hit Robert Foster for a 19-yard touchdown to open the scoring. Derrick Henry added touchdown runs of 1 and 2 yards in the second quarter, and he reached the end zone a third time thanks to a 28-yard burst in the third quarter. Sophomore quarterback Cooper Bateman recorded the first touchdown pass of his career, connecting with Kenyan Drake on a shovel pass for a 14-yard scoring play.

Senior quarterback Jake Coker, making his debut as the Crimson Tide’s starting quarterback, was an efficient 15-of-21 for 213 yards and one touchdown to go along with no turnovers. Sophomore Cooper Bateman also saw action in the second half, finishing 7-for-8 with 51 yards. Defensively, Alabama was dominant at the line of scrimmage, holding the Badgers to just 40 yards rushing on 21 attempts, an average of 1.9 yards per rush.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The No. 2-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide could not overcome five turnovers in its SEC opener, falling by a final score of 43-37 to the No. 15/11 Ole Miss Rebels in a back-and-forth contest in front of a sellout crowd of 101,821 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The 12th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide shut out the visiting ULM Warhawks by a final score of 34-0 in front of 101,323 fans at BryantDenny Stadium. The Tide got off to another slow start offensively, getting on the board with 2:38 remaining in the first quarter thanks to a three-yard run by junior running back Derrick Henry. Senior quarterback Jacob Coker found freshman wide receiver Calvin Ridley for a touchdown early in the second quarter, the first of the rookie’s career. In the second half, Alabama was able to put the game away. Junior placekicker Adam Griffith made field goals of 35 and 40 yards, and Coker tossed two more touchdowns.

The opening kickoff of the game would set the tone for Alabama, as a fumble by sophomore receiver ArDarius Stewart on the return was recovered by Ole Miss. The Rebels were able to turn that into three points, the only points of the quarter. The Tide evened the score early in the second, but two more turnovers in the quarter allowed the Rebels to take advantage of short fields to reach the end zone twice. Alabama was playing from behind for the rest of the game, twice getting within six points, but unable to complete the comeback. Ole Miss Alabama

ATHENS, Ga. — The 13th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide was resourceful in all phases of the game and dominant defensively while showcasing an opportunistic offense in a 38-10 rout of eighth-ranked Georgia before a capacity crowd of 92,746 on a rainy day at Sanford Stadium. In a game played mostly in a steady rain, senior quarterback Jake Coker and the Alabama offense were efficient while the defense had both Bulldogs quarterbacks under duress all game long. Coker had a rushing and passing touchdown, junior running back Derrick Henry added another touchdown on the ground, and the Tide scored on a 50-yard interception return by junior defensive back Eddie Jackson and on a blocked punt by freshman defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team turned in a gritty performance on Saturday night to defeat the Arkansas Razorbacks, 27-14, in the 2015 Homecoming game before a capacity crowd of 101,821 at Bryant-Denny Stadium on the Alabama campus.

Freshman receiver Calvin Ridley caught five passes for 120 yards, his first game over the century mark, and one touchdown while Henry set a new career-high in attempts (26) and rushing yards (148). The Alabama defense was a disruptive force in the wet conditions all day, forcing a total of four turnovers, including three interceptions by three different members of the secondary. Georgia’s two quarterbacks completed only 11 of 31 pass attempts and averaged 3.2 yards per pass. The Tide gained 379 yards of offense (190 passing and 189 rushing) and converted 15 first downs. The Bulldogs picked up 299 yards for the game (106 passing and 193 rushing) along with converting 12 first downs. Alabama Georgia

Alabama erased a 7-3 deficit late in the third quarter on an 81-yard pass from quarterback Jake Coker to wide receiver Calvin Ridley, a play that awoke a slumbering offense that had struggled to finish drives most of the game to that point. That score, with 1:39 left in the third period, turned the game in Alabama’s favor as the Crimson Tide stopped an Arkansas drive at the Hogs’ 43 on the ensuing possession and marched to a touchdown on a 3-yard pass from Coker to wideout Richard Mullaney for a 17-7 lead. After an Eddie Jackson interception for the Tide a few plays later, Alabama tacked on a 35-yard Adam Griffith field goal for a 20-7 edge with 10:07 left in the fourth quarter. Derrick Henry added a 1-yard touchdown run with 2:44 left, marking the 11th consecutive game in which he has scored on the ground. Arkansas Alabama

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The 10th-ranked University of Alabama football team used a punishing rushing offense and big plays from its defense to defeat No. 9 Texas A&M, 41-23, before a crowd of 105,733 at Kyle Field. Alabama intercepted four passes, returning three for touchdowns, to knock off the previously unbeaten Aggies. Crimson Tide running back Derrick Henry rushed for 236 yards and two touchdowns while cornerbacks Minkah Fitzpatrick and Eddie Jackson nabbed two interceptions each. Jackson returned one for a 93-yard touchdown as the Tide defense scored three times – a first in Alabama history. Fitzpatrick scored two touchdowns via interception returns, first on a 33-yard return in the first quarter, and later on a game-clinching 55-yarder. For UA, quarterback Jake Coker passed for 138 yards while completing 19-of-25 passes.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — In a tight, hard-hitting struggle that lived up to the legacy of one of college football’s most history-rich rivalries, the eighth-ranked University of Alabama football team used a clutch touchdown drive by its offense and a staunch outing from its defense to overcome a late deficit in a 19-14 win over Tennessee on Saturday afternoon before a capacity crowd of 101,821 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Alabama built a 28-6 lead midway through the second quarter with Henry rushing 15 times for 178 yards and three scores in the first half and the Tide defense holding the explosive A&M offense 189 total yards. After Fitzpatrick’s interception return, Henry rumbled 55 yards to pay dirt with 5:26 left in the opening stanza before tacking on a 6-yard scoring run with 14:51 left in the half. Jackson’s 93-yard scoring play extended the lead to 28-6 before A&M struck back on a 68-yard punt return touchdown by Christian Kirk with 3:03 left in the first half. Alabama led, 28-13, at halftime. A&M narrowed the Alabama lead to 28-20 early in the third period on a 3-yard pass from quarterback Kyle Allen to wide receiver Ricky Seals-Jones. The Tide extended its lead to 34-20 on a pair of Adam Griffith field goals before A&M’s Taylor Bertolet hit a 36-yard field goal with 7:57 left in the fourth quarter, Bertolet’s third counter of the game. Fitzpatrick stopped an Aggie drive with his second interception of the day, which he returned 55 yards for his second score of the game. It set a Crimson Tide record for interceptions return for a touchdown, both for the team and an individual. Alabama Texas A&M

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The Alabama defense limited LSU running back Leonard Fournette to 31 rushing yards while the Crimson Tide offense rode a 210-yard, threetouchdown rushing performance by Derrick Henry to a 30-16 victory before a capacity crowd of 101 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The victory moved No. 4 Alabama into a tie with No. 2 LSU for the lead in the SEC’s West Division. Fournette, who entered the game as the nation’s leading rusher averaging 193.1 yards rushing per game, could not get going against the Crimson Tide defense. But Henry rushed for touchdowns of two yards, one yard and seven yards while carrying the ball 38 times, the third-most carries by one player in a single game in Alabama football history.

STARKVILLE, Miss. — The University of Alabama defense sacked Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott nine times and Crimson Tide running back Derrick Henry rushed for 204 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-6 victory over the Bulldogs before an overflow crowd of 62,435 at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field.

Alabama was dominant early, breaking out to a 10-0 lead in the second quarter on a 22-yard Adam Griffith field goal and Henry’s two-yard scoring rush that came after a 40-yard run in which he fended off three would-be tacklers while rumbling deep into LSU territory. But the Tigers struck back to tie it at 10-10 with an explosive passing game. Quarterback Brandon Harris hit wide receiver Travin Dural for a 40-yard touchdown pass and Trent Domingue followed with a 39-yard field goal to tie it. But Alabama took a 13-10 lead at halftime on a career-long 55-yard field goal by Griffith with 14 seconds left in the half. After Tide linebacker Dillon Lee intercepted a Harris pass on the first play of the third quarter to set up Alabama at the LSU 28, Henry capped a touchdown drive with a 1-yard run to stake the Tide to a 20-10 lead with 13:00 left in the period. Henry extended the lead with a seven-yard scoring run with 2:47 left in the third quarter and Griffith added a 29-yard field goal with 12:45 left in the fourth period for a 30-10 Alabama lead. LSU showed life late after Henry lost a fumble at the Tide 22. The Tigers marched 22 yards in four plays with Fournette scoring on a one-yard run with 9:18 on the clock. The extrapoint was blocked by the Tide’s A’Shawn Robinson as the Tide held a 30-16 lead. The Alabama defense created seven plays of negative yardage by the LSU offense in the game, including seven tackles for loss and two quarterback sacks. LSU was limited to 182 total yards in the game (54 rushing, 128 passing). The Alabama offense gained 434 total yards, including 250 rushing, and had the ball for 39:27 of game time. Tide safety Geno Matias-Smith led the Tide defense with six tackles. Alabama punter JK Scott averaged 45.0 yards on three punts with a long of 50 yards, including one punt downed inside the LSU 20. Griffith made all three field goal attempts. LSU Alabama

Alabama’s defense produced 12 plays for losses against a high-powered State offense, limiting the explosive Prescott to 14 rushing yards on 26 attempts and holding the Bulldogs out of the end zone for the first time in 36 games dating back to MSU’s 2013 season opener. It also marked the end of a 32-game streak by Prescott in which he had scored a touchdown in a game, the longest streak in the Football Bowl Subdivision. The nine quarterback sacks by the Tide defense is the most by an Alabama defense since 1998 when it also tallied nine against Vanderbilt. Henry scored on runs of 75 and 65 yards as the Crimson Tide offense overcame a slow start with a methodical ground game while the Tide defense held off several State scoring threats. Henry turned in over 200 yards rushing in a game for the third time in 2015, becoming the first Alabama back to do so three times in a single season. Alabama broke on top, 7-0, early in the second quarter on a 69-yard punt return by Cyrus Jones. On Alabama’s next possession, wide receiver Calvin Ridley took a pass from Coker at the Tide 49 in the middle of the field, cut back and juked a defender, then raced to the end zone to complete a 60-yard scoring play, extending the Tide lead to 14-0. State responded on the next possession with a 31-yard field goal by Westin Graves that narrowed the lead to 14-3 before Henry raced 74 yards for a touchdown to give the Tide a 21-3 lead at the half. A 42-yard field goal by Adam Griffith gave Alabama a 24-3 lead early in the third quarter. State added a 39-yard field goal by Graves late in the third quarter before Henry sealed the verdict with a 65-yard touchdown run with 7:53 left in the game. 1 2 3 4 Score Alabama 0 21 3 7 31 Mississippi State 0 3 3 0 6 SCORING SUMMARY 2nd 3rd 4th

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28 • JORDAN-HARE STADIUM • AUBURN, ALA. ATTENDANCE: 87,451 • TV: CBS

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The second-ranked University of Alabama Crimson Tide started fast and took care of business against Charleston Southern in a 56-6 victory before a crowd of 100,611 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama raced to a 28-0 lead after the first quarter on the way to a 49-0 halftime advantage, scoring touchdowns on its first five offensive possessions and adding scores on a pair of punt returns.

AUBURN, Ala. — University of Alabama running back Derrick Henry rushed for 271 yards and a touchdown on a school-record 46 carries to lead the Crimson Tide to a 29-13 over the Auburn Tigers before a capacity crowd of 87,451 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The victory gave the Crimson Tide the SEC’s Western Division title and earned Alabama a berth in the SEC Championship Game against the Florida Gators.

Playing only the first quarter of Saturday’s game, Alabama running back Derrick Henry rushed for 68 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. He also caught a pass for 28 yards. Henry’s two rushing touchdowns opened the scoring and Cyrus Jones’ punt returns highlighted the opening half onslaught as the Tide prepared for its annual Iron Bowl clash with Auburn by dispatching the Buccaneers quickly. The Alabama defense was dominant throughout, allowing only 31 total yards and three first downs in the opening half.

With the game on the line in the final quarter, Henry rushed 19 times for 114 yards in the fourth alone to lead the Tide out of a tense situation in which they were clinging to a 19-13 lead midway through the period. After Alabama took a 22-13 lead on Adam Griffith’s fifth field goal of the game with 10:04 left, Henry carried on every Crimson Tide snap the rest of the way, carrying the ball on 14 consecutive plays to close out the game. Henry’s totals stand as the third-most rushing yards in a game by any Alabama back, and his yardage is the most ever gained by an Auburn opponent.

Due to the big lead, Alabama’s starters sat out the second half. In two quarters of play, quarterback Jake Coker completed 11 of 13 pass attempts for 155 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception. Wide receiver Calvin Ridley had four catches for 49 yards, wide receiver ArDarius Stewart had four catches for 45 yards and wideout Richard Mullaney had one catch for a 21-yard touchdown. The offensive starters yielded to the Tide’s second-team offense late in the second period. Reserve running back Bo Scarbrough had a game-high 69 rushing yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.

In addition to Henry’s heroics, Alabama’s offense was keyed by an accurate passing performance by quarterback Jake Coker, who completed 17 of 26 attempts for 179 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver ArDarius Stewart caught a game-high eight catches for 81 yards and a score while wideout Calvin Ridley had 90 yards receiving on six catches. Griffith made good on all five field goal attempts in the game, the most by a Tide kicker in four seasons. The Alabama defense permitted only one big play in the game while limiting the explosive Tigers offense to 260 total yards (169 passing, 91 rushing).

The Alabama defense limited CSU to 134 total yards (85 rushing, 49 passing) and eight first downs in the game, holding the Buccaneers to 1-of-10 on third downs while causing two turnovers (one fumble and one interception). Cornerback Bradley Sylve and defensive end Dalvin Tomlinson both had four tackles each to lead the Tide.

Alabama outgained Auburn, 465 to 260, while the Tide rushed for 286 yards and passed for 179. The Tide notched 24 first downs to Auburn’s 12, limited the Tigers to 3-of-15 on third downs, and had the ball for 35:23 compared to Auburn’s 24:37. Safety Geno Matias-Smith led the Tide with eight tackles and a forced fumble. Linebacker Reuben Foster had six stops, a pass breakup and a quarterback hurry, while Tide cornerback Marlon Humphrey had six tackles on the night. Linebacker Reggie Ragland had five stops while directing the Tide defense on the field.

ATLANTA — The Alabama Crimson Tide used a dominant performance by its defense and a record-setting day by running back Derrick Henry to defeat the Florida Gators, 2915, to win the 2015 Southeastern Conference Championship Game in front of a crowd of 75,320 at the Georgia Dome. The SEC title, the 25th in Crimson Tide history, made the Tide the first team to earn back-to-back SEC Championship Game victories since Tennessee did so in 1997-98.

ARLINGTON, Texas — The The Alabama Crimson Tide, ranked No. 2 in the College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings, produced a dominant performance for a 38-0 victory over the No. 3 Michigan State Spartans in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic in front of a crowd of 82,812 at AT&T Stadium (capacity: 71,815).

The Alabama defense stifled Florida’s offense for much of the game, holding the Gators to 180 total yards including only 15 yards rushing.

Henry rushed for 189 yards and a touchdown on 44 carries, increasing his 2015 season rushing total to 1,986 yards. He broke the SEC single-season rushing yards record previously held by Herschel Walker of Georgia (1,891 yards in 1981) on a second-andthree play on which Henry ran at right tackle and gained seven yards with 4:00 left in the third period. Henry earned Most Valuable Player honors for his performance. Tide quarterback Jake Coker completed 18 of 26 passes for 204 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception. Wide receiver Calvin Ridley had 103 yards on a gamehigh eight catches and receiver ArDarius Stewart had four catches for 64 yards.
