Applewhite to Alabama

Just heard on local Alabama sports channel CMA to be an offensive analyst for Nick Saban

Will save us ~$40K off his $650K buyout this year so we have that going for us.

Should be a nice stepping stone for him. With the high turnover for assistants, he could find himself their OC in a few years.

From head coach to analyst? I guess if you’re going to be one, Alabama is the place to do it.

Larry Fedora just did the same thing from North Carolina to Texas.

Really, guess he can be the quick snap 1 Yard dive play specialist !

So he’s basically making $610k this year plus dis not so stressful job at Alabama
 Not bad when youre only 40. Can do this job for 2 years and then decide to give it another run at a higher position if he wants in football.

He will be making $650K. ~$610K from UH and ~$40K from Alabama. He will make at least $650K/year for the next 3 years because of his buyout. We have to cover the difference if he makes less than that.

What a sweet deal for someone who had no experience as a head coach.

I’m surprised the kissing coach in austin didn’t offer him a position.

The kissing coach knows better, recommended him to us in an effort to keep us down.

Can’t. Major has been kinda blacklisted in Austin. He can never go home.

He got the UNC coach and will get the Kansas coach as well. Probably wants people with fresh takes in those roles anyway.

Even after nearly sending a rival football program to the dark ages? He must have more to do on his list of sabotaging endeavors before they’ll agree to take him back. lol

Applewhite signed a non-disclosure with UTA to sabotage UofH in games like SMU and he received a bonus plus residuals for going 0-3 in bowl games. It’s my understanding that Red gave him the idea to take grad transfers instead of freshmen with four (4) years of eligibility.
