5 underdog candidates for the Alabama coaching job

Here are five names you may not have heard about when it comes to Alabama’s hunt for a new head coach.

A few high-profile names have been tossed around when it comes to replacing Nick Saban as the head coach of Alabama. The top two right now seem to be Florida State’s Mike Norvell and Washington’s Kalen DeBoer. However, there might be some candidates who were initially overlooked.

Based on some slight buzz on social media and what a few oddsmakers have come up with, there are a few long shots who are definite possibilities nonetheless.

Mind you, Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne explained that nothing should be believed unless it comes from him. According to Byrne’s guidance, these aren’t even long shots, they are just candidates whose names have not popped up in rumors and reports.
