Buyout details for former Alabama OC Brian Daboll revealed
After one year and one national championship, Alabama OC Brian Daboll is off to the NFL once again, this time as the Buffalo Bills’ offensive coordinator.
Due to him leaving before his contract is up, though, he’ll have to pay a buyout to Alabama in order to leave.
According to Steve Berkowitz, Daboll will owe the university $240,000, though he’ll likely have some help from his new team to pay that bill:

The Crimson Tide have to replace both coordinators now, as DC Jeremy Pruitt took over as Tennessee’s head coach.
With Nick Saban still leading the program, finding top assistants won’t be hard, but getting them to stay in Tuscaloosa for more than one year won’t be easy, as Saban’s assistants are hot commodities these days.
