The longtime journeyman defensive coach spent the past year as an analyst on Saban's defensive staff and interviewed for the position vacated by Pete Golding recently.
That sets up the next edition of the "Roll Tide Rumor Mill" - Who will be selected to replace Pete Golding as defensive coordinator and restore the Bama defense to his dominant standards?

Entering into day two of SEC Media Days, Ryan Fowler, host of The Game, talks with Alabama defensive back Jordan Battle about the offseason, the upcoming football season and other topics surrounding football and the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Tony Mitchell, five-star cornerback out of Thompson High School, announced his commitment to Alabama just days after placing the Tide in his top-four schools.
