NBC

ESPN reported Friday night that current Patriot's Tight End Coach Brian Daboll would be named the Alabama Offensive Coordinator. Here are a few things every Bama fan should know about him:

1. He is a family man.

Daboll is married and has five kids: Marky, Christian, Aiden, Haven and Avery.

2. He has worked for Saban before.

Daboll was a Graduate Assistant under Coach Saban at Michigan State for the 1998-99 season.

3. He has NFL experience.

Daboll has coached for five NFL teams: the New England Patriots, the New York Jets, the Cleveland Browns, the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs.

4. He is from Canada.

Daboll was born in Welland, Ontario, so he probably doesn't understand southern football traditions yet.

5. He coached Brett Favre and Colt McCoy.

Daboll was the quarterback coach for the New York Jets when Brett Favre was there, and the Offensive Coordinator for the Cleveland Browns when he worked with Colt McCoy. Brett Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and Colt McCoy is infamously connected to Alabama through the 2009 National Championship battle during which he was injured and unable to finish the game for Texas.

6. He knows what it's like to win.

Daboll has Superbowl rings from XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLIX and LI. All of these came from his time coaching for the New England Patriots, a.k.a the Alabama of the NFL.

7. He has been an offensive coordinator before.

Daboll was the OC for the Cleveland Browns from 2009-2010, for the Miami Dolphins in 2011 and for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2012.

8. He played college football.

Daboll was a 2-year starter at the University of Rochester and once recorded three interceptions in a single game.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
