Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban addresses quarterback situation and defensive coordinator talk
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - As Alabama prepares to begin conference play against Ole Miss on Saturday, head coach Nick Saban addressed two components surrounding his team entering week four of the college football season. Before Saban received questions during his media availability early Monday afternoon inside the Naylor Stone media room on Alabama’s campus, he stated that Jalen Milroe will be the starting quarterback for the Tide and disputed any talk that Kevin Steele isn’t the defensive coordinator.
As Alabama begins its campaign in the Southeastern Conference, Saban likes what he has seen from Milroe from a leadership perspective and wants him to carry on as QB1. There was also a story floating around after Ole Miss head football coach Lane Kiffin said that the Rebels were preparing for the Tide as if safeties and cornerbacks coach Travaris Robinson was calling the defense. Saban mentioned that Robinson has been used to make communication easier to players on the field while Kevin Steele works from the booth.
Offensive lineman Tyler Booker said to Next Round Live that the players held a players-only meeting. Not much was shared as to what the meeting entailed, but the sense is for the players to play better, especially during the tougher stretch of the season.
