Alabama’s offensive coordinator Brian Daboll (now Buffalo Bills O.C.) and head coach Nick Saban did not see eye-to-eye on giving QB Tua Tagovailoa playing time over QB Jalen Hurts. Per TideSports.com...

However, there was some frustration on Daboll’s part on personnel matters, multiple sources told The Tuscaloosa News. These weren’t all that contentious, but they were frustrating for an offensive coordinator being asked to put his best offense on the field. Daboll wanted to play freshman quarterback Tua Tagovailoa sooner than he has given the green light to do so. That doesn’t mean that Daboll didn’t like or want to play Jalen Hurts too. That’s not accurate at all. It’s just that Daboll saw what Tagovailoa was doing in practice against the best defense in the country and wanted to give him a chance once the offense started slumping in November.
