"We're looking for the guy — success is defined by consistency in performance, alright," Saban said. "So who can be the most consistent guy doing his job well at that position? Alright, now that's a critical position because that guy distributes the ball to someone on every down, whether he hands it to them, throws it to them. The choices and decisions that they have to make goes a long way in how effective and efficient your offense runs."

And this won't be a quick process.

A full-time starter wasn't made official until the second game of the 2011 season when McCarron beat Phillip Sims.

"When we have scrimmages maybe some of the guys that we have practice well will struggle a little more," Saban said. "Maybe the other guys will play a little better in the scrimmage. So it's going to be a long time in us developing those players, not being so quick to criticize or quick to try to make a judgement or a decision on any one particular player but to continue to try to have the patience to develop those guys into the kind of guys that can play winning football for us."
