The transition from Jon Richt to Dan Enos is the biggest win out of all of this. Frankly, anyone was an upgrade from Richt Jr. but this guy has done some quality work at multiple programs with QB's. If there was one area where we were exceptionally weak it was at QB and a position we needed to hit on this was it. The guy has head coaching experience which will be important for the young staff and first year head coach to lean on. We have to put some stock into the fact that Nick Saban just offered him the same position and he picked us over that. Not going to speculate what our offense will look like as nobody knows what it will be. OC wise we will see who he hires but QB wise this should be a monster win.
PS. for all of the whiners, Sean McVay was never coming here.

Enos was one of the driving forces behind an Alabama offense that set the program record for total offense (522 yards per game) and scoring offense (45.6 points per game) in 2018. Quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa become the most prolific passer in Tide history after throwing 43 touchdowns, averaging 264.4 yards per game and setting an FBS single-season passer rating record at 199.44.
"Coach Enos has taught us a lot," Tagovailoa said prior to the College Football Playoff National Championship. "We have our footwork. He teaches us read keys, movement keys. It's a lot different than last year because last year we had coach [Brian] Daboll. And coach Daboll, it was a little different situation because coach Daboll had to coach the quarterbacks and had to be an offensive coordinator as well. So it wasn't as easy for coach Daboll. But when you have somebody just primarily set towards your position with coach Enos, it's given us a great amount of time with just spending time with him in the film room, on the field. I think the quarterback room has done a tremendous job."
Prior to his time at Alabama, Enos served as the offensive coordinator at
Arkansasand was integral in the development of quarterbacks
Austin Allen and Brandon Allen during his three years in Fayetteville. Prior to joining the Razorbacks in 2015, Enos was 26-36 in five years as the head coach at
Central Michigan.
Enos is the fourth member of the 2018 Alabama on-field coaching staff to leave the program. Former offensive coordinator Mike Locksley took the head coaching job at Maryland, wide receivers coach Josh Gattis was named the offensive coordinator at
Michigan this week and offensive line coach Brent Key joined the
Georgia Tech staff.
Nick Saban is no stranger to coaching staff turnover. Five coaches from the 2017 staff were not on the field in 2018, and the Crimson Tide still ran the table leading up to the College Football Playoff National Championship loss to
Clemson.
