Via the Huntsville Times: Saban adds trio to coaching staff:
Not included among the latest announcements was Major Applewhite, the offensive coordinator at Rice. Applewhite has accepted an offer from Saban to coach quarterbacks, according to a Friday report in the Houston Chronicle.
Here’s the Houston Chronicle story which notes that Applewhite was named after Crimson Tide star Major Oglivie.
One guesses that Applewhite has a long and successful coaching career ahead of him if his tenure as Rice’s OC is to be a guide (not to mention his clear mental grasp of the game when he was Texas’ QB).
