Alabama defensive line coach Bo Davis has accepted an offer from Texas to coach the Longhorns’ defensive tackles. No reason to fear, Tide fans, it seems Nick Saban already has his replacement lined up.

Clemson assistant Chris Rumph has informed Dabo Swinney that he’s leaving the Tigers’ staff for the Tide’s. Rumph has served on Clemson’s staff for five years as their defensive ends coach. The last two seasons he worked under former Saban aide Kevin Steele.

The Tuscaloosa News suggests that Rumph might not directly replace Davis if Saban decides instead to reassign some members of his defensive staff. Either way, the Tide was down an assistant coach for just the blink of an eye.
