Alabama to hire ex-Texans coach Bill O'Brien as offensive coordinator

In a Zoom call with reporters Wednesday, Alabama coach Nick Saban didn't confirm that O'Brien was joining his staff, but did profess an appreciation for his work.

The Texans fired O'Brien as General Manager and head coach in October after an 0-4 start.

O'Brien would replace Steve Sarkisian, who exited Tuscaloosa to become the head coach at Texas. Barmore's interior pass rush skills developed, with help from occasional stunts and twists, to notch six sacks over his last six games, including two in the College Football Playoff.

Alabama finished second in the nation in scoring at 48.5 points per game, fourth in total offense with an average of 541.6 yards per game, and third in passing offense at 358.2 yards per game.

Waddle and Jones both project as first-round picks in the 2021 NFL Draft. O'Brien had coached the Texans since 2014. Critics blasted the Texans' return in the deal as being far too little. He was Penn State's head coach in 2012-13, helping to rebuild the program following the Jerry Sandusky scandal and NCAA sanctions that followed.

Similar to Saban, O'Brien also has strong ties to Bill Belichick and coached under Belichick with the New England Patriots for five seasons from 2007 to "11, the final season as the Patriots" offensive coordinator. O'Brien was Duke's offensive coordinator in 2005-06 and Georgia Tech's offensive coordinator in 2001-02.
