According to a report from BamaInsider, Patrick Surtain, a former all-pro cornerback, interviewed for a DB job at Alabama recently. Surtain is notably the son of the No. 1 DB and five-star 2018 prospect Patrick Surtain Jr., who is likely favoring LSU:
“I met with all the people in the office, I met with Coach Saban and his staff. It was actually a great experience for him to even consider me,” Surtain said told BamaInsider.com. “To be a DB coach at Alabama would be a tremendous honor. Eventually it may happen, but I guess it wasn’t the right time.”
“That was the first thing I mentioned to Coach Saban,” the older Surtain said. “I told him I didn’t want it contingent on where Pat [Surtain Jr.] comes there or not. That wouldn’t be fair to him. [Saban] assured me that it wasn’t. He interviewed me because he thought I’d be a great defensive backs coach.”
