A very good interview with Coach McElwain. He seemed to have rally enjoyed his time at Alabama. He has nothing but praise for CNS, the coaching staff and UA in general. He went 48-6 as the OC and two NC's. Not a bad run.
Q: Were you at all tempted to try to take any Alabama assistant coaches with you?
A: Temptation? I would have loved to have brought every one of them. To have been able to work with those guys, not only great coaches but great people, that was something that was important that I got from my time there. The personalities blended and making sure there was a match on how people worked together, that's a credit to Coach Saban and what he was able to do to put a cohesive staff together. I already miss those guys that I shared that offensive room with. You get awful close to people given all the time you spent in there together.
Q: What were your feelings about leaving on such a high note at Alabama, winning a BCS title?
A: I've been blessed. I'd have never thought I would be at a great place like Alabama, coach with Nick Saban, and all the successes he's had in his career. I'll get time in July maybe to sit back and actually reflect on what happened. That was pretty cool.
