After three seasons under the direction of Lane Kiffin and one with Brian Daboll, Alabama’s offense is being guided this year by coordinator Mike Locksley and associate head coach Dan Enos.
Each has head-coaching experience, with Locksley having headed New Mexico’s program from 2009 to 2011 and Enos having led Central Michigan from 2010 to 2014.
“Mike and Dan get along really well, and they’ve both been successful coordinators in the past,” Alabama head coach Nick Saban said in a news conference after last Saturday’s second scrimmage. “I think they both have a lot of respect for each other, and I think it’s worked out fine.”
Enos took over the CMU reins nearly a decade ago from Butch Jones, who would go on to coach Cincinnati (2010-12) and Tennessee (2013-17) and is now in his first year as an analyst with the Crimson Tide.
Alabama held its 13th spring practice Tuesday afternoon, working out for two hours in full pads. The Tide will practice again Thursday before wrapping up Saban’s 12th spring with Saturday afternoon’s A-Day game inside Bryant-Denny Stadium, which will be televised by ESPN at 2 EDT.
