Is he seeing the writing on the wall with Jimbo?

He's one I would have liked to see at Bama at some time or another—not as a head coach, but as a DC.

He would have tagged along with Bowden if Bama had hired Bobby. Funny how things work out.

The article didn't mention this, but he won the NAIA NC at Livingston State (now University of West Alabama) as a HC. The rest if his career he's been an assistant or coordinator. I guess he never had that burning desire to be a HC at a big time school. I don't recall him ever really going after a big time HC position. I too wish he had served a little time at Bama as a coach.

He finished at Bama in 65, so he'd be 67-68 years old. Maybe he wants to step down and enjoy some time with his family. I know that when he goes, FSU will miss him. He's been among the best DC's for a long time.

Would of loved to have seen him at Bama coaching defense as well, heck if a spot comes open next year maybe he will be considered.

I don't think it is seeing writing on the wall. I can only imagine that Jimbo went down to Mickey's office begging him to stay on board for a few more years. Having those men on your staff who've been through so many battles only helps a first time HC.
