Rumors went around 'bout Saban not fully trusting a young OC with the keys to the Bama offense, especially with one wanting to run more of a spread...but Applewhite himself said he'd been lookin' to get back to Texas for a few years and for several reasons (he was an alum, loved Austin, family, etc)...answer is probably somewhere in between...

Maybe but Applewhite grew up a huge Bama fan. He was named after former Bama RB Major Ogilvie. I used to see Applewhite at parties around Bama campus when he was still at Texas.
