I was very confused by previous reports that ex-Texas QB Major Applewhite might accept the QB-coach spot under Shermie. Why would a guy who is currently an offensive coordinator at a major school (Alabama) leave to be a position coach a few miles from his alma matter? It turns out that he wants out because d-bag Saban "has been reluctant to give [up] total control of the offense." It also turns out that his boys in Austin found him a spot on their staff. Running backs coach is a perfect fit for a QB who averaged -2.8, -2.5, and -1.5 rushing yards per game in his last three seasons.
