New Bulldogs coach was Oklahoma offensive coordinator in 2022-23
Nick Saban confirmed on SEC Network Wednesday morning that he indeed tried to hire then Oklahoma OC, now Mississippi State HC Jeff Lebby as Alabama’s offensive coordinator in 2023. Here’s what Lebby had to say about it…Jeff Lebby returned to the SEC this year as head coach at Mississippi State, but he had an opportunity to do so as an assistant in 2023.
“Coach Saban, it was just an honor to have conversations with him as we went through some things,” Lebby said. “I could not be more thankful for the opportunity. At the time, it was something where I felt like I needed to be exactly where my feet were. And he did pretty good.” The 40-year-old Lebby has long been considered one of the top offensive minds in college football, dating to his days on the Baylor staff of his father-in-law, Art Briles. He also worked for Josh Heupel at Central Florida and Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss before spending two seasons with Brent Venables at Oklahoma, his alma mater.
