He will be a great fit in our organization and I think our players will respond to his positive attitude and energy. This is a very important hire in terms of working with our offensive line and we feel fortunate that we were able to hire a coach of Mario?s caliber. We want to welcome Mario and his family to the University of Alabama and we are excited to have them here.?
