Cochran is a S&C coach that didn't know whit about special teams. Saban told him to learn the job and Cochran left in a snit.
Yeah. This is what I don't think people understand about Saban or, if they do, they just ignore it because they're rival fans and just want to troll the Alabama fans. He doesn't just give you a job because you want it. He expects you to know it before handing you the reins. Cochran had been a S&C coach for his entire career. One day he just hops over to Saban's office and tells him he wants to advance his career and asks for an on-the-field coaching position. How do you think Saban should have reacted to this request other than telling him he needs to start with the basics?
If you're a CEO of a small company and the head of your maintenance department comes into your office asking for a job in accounting, do you give him that job straight away or do you tell him to learn it first?

It would appear that Cochran was involved with Special Teams already at Alabama, and during his time at LSU per Kirby Smart.

Some have suggested Smart is taking a chance by hiring Cochran to become a special teams coordinator when he has not previously held that position. But Smart had an answer for those critics and doubters, as well. “He was always involved in some way, shape or form with special teams (at Alabama),” Smart said. “That’s always been something, even dating back to my days at LSU, that he was kind of the quality control guy at LSU that worked with special teams. So his background has been around that.”
