As Cochran spoke of the future, of what he plans to do with West Alabama football as its head coach, he was asked about the current state of the Crimson Tide, about Kalen DeBoer and what he's done at Alabama. Cochran said he honestly doesn't know much.

Scott Cochran is back in college football, taking the head coaching position at West Alabama after stints with LSU, Alabama and Georgia.
