Well to be fair both of those teams (2010 Auburn and 2011 LSU) beat Alabama in those seasons as well.

Imagine if he had the athletes we do instead of low 4-stars and 3-stars.

The Alabama offensive coordinator position has been a hot topic the last few months. The common theme: its vacancy.

Nick Saban will be tasked with finding a new play caller for the upcoming 2017 season after Steve Sarkisian bolted for the NFL following his one-game tenure on the job.

Multiple names have surfaced as potential candidates, including former Oregon and NFL head coach Chip Kelly.

While Jason Cole of Bleacher Report says Kelly has “no interest in the Alabama job,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter said, according to BusinessInsider.com, “There at least have been some conversations that have gone on over the last 24-48 hours between those two individuals (Saban and Kelly)."

One former Ducks offensive lineman, Geoff Schwartz, thinks Kelly to Alabama is perfect.

“For those who don’t know, or don’t remember, (former Oregon quarterback) Darron Thomas didn’t even whiff the NFL, he barely whiffed the CFL, and he was in the national championship game for Oregon,” Schwartz said on Outkick the Coverage with Clay Travis on Wednesday morning. “He’s the most proficient quarterback in Oregon history. He’s more proficient than Mariota. I believe (he has) the most wins in Oregon history still. If he can take Darren Thomas and make him that good, what can he do with Jalen Hurts? Or even this kid from Hawaii who just committed, the lefty that’s supposed be the next Mariota. He’d be a perfect fit there.”
