Four days after being shell-shocked by Clemson...Nic Saban in Tuscaloosa, Alabama was about to have his regular morning football staff meeting when he noticed someone was missing.
“Hey, where’s Dan?” Saban asked staffers, according to people with knowledge of the meeting, in reference to Dan Enos, the Tide’s quarterbacks coach who had just been promoted to become Alabama’s new offensive coordinator.
Enos’ stock had soared in Saban’s eyes, from all accounts inside the Tide program. Saban was counting on Enos as Alabama would again have to navigate a staggering amount of staff turnover, even by Saban standards.
However, there was no sign of Enos when the staff meeting was about to start.
“Where the F#$% is Dan?!?”
Several of the staffers knew the answer to their boss’ question. Word had already spread that 50-year-old Enos was headed to Miami to become offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach under Manny Diaz. No one in the room wanted to be the one to break that news to Saban, even though Miami was primed to announce it in a couple hours.
One staffer scrambled to check if Enos was in his office. It was empty, save for a pencil on the desk. Maybe he’d already moved into Locksley’s old office, but that one was empty, too.
“He moved out like the Colts,” said one person with knowledge of the matter, equating Enos’ departure to the middle-of-the-night exit by the old Baltimore NFL franchise to Indianapolis.
