Mal Moore to Step Down as UA Athletics Director, Become Special Assistant to President Bonner


TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The University of Alabama announced today that Coach Mal Moore will step down as athletics director, effective March 20, 2013, to become special assistant to President Judy Bonner.

“Mal Moore is Crimson Tide sports,” said Bonner. “During his tenure as athletics director, our student athletes have experienced unprecedented success in every aspect of their careers at UA, on the field of play and in the classroom. His contributions to UA athletics on every level are unsurpassed. And, while he will no longer be in charge of day-to-day operations, I am so pleased that we will continue to be able to rely on his wisdom and expertise going forward.”

“As many of you may know, due to factors related to my health, I am at a point that I can no longer fulfill my duties as athletics director in the true championship manner the position requires,” said Moore. “While I have to focus on my health issue, I look forward to maintaining an ongoing working relationship with this great University as special assistant to Dr. Bonner. I know I can count on each of you to continue your unequaled support for me and The University of Alabama.

“I cannot adequately express what the University means to me. It has been a part of my life for more than 50 years, and I feel honored to have served the Crimson Tide as a player, coach and administrator. I am so appreciative of the University administration, coaches, staff, student-athletes and fans who have made my tenure as director so very meaningful, memorable and special.”

A 1963 graduate of The University of Alabama, Moore earned both an undergraduate degree in Sociology and a 1964 master’s degree in Secondary Education from the Capstone. The University of Alabama’s director of Athletics since 1999, Moore was a football player under legendary Crimson Tide head coach Paul W. “Bear” Bryant from 1958-62 and went on to serve as an assistant football coach on Bryant’s staff. Moore has the distinction of being a part of 10 national championship football teams as a player, coach and athletics director.

In 2011, he was elected to the State of Alabama Sports Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as a coach and an administrator. After the completion of the 2011-12 academic and athletic seasons, Moore was named the winner of the John L. Toner Award, given by the National Football Foundation and the Hall of Fame to the nation’s best athletics director.

In addition to making his mark on Alabama, Moore also had a national impact as a key member of several prestigious NCAA and college football committees. He has served on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, the SEC Athletics Directors Bowl Advisory Committee and the Big Six Conferences Minority Coaches Forum.

Moore’s successor as athletics director will be named as quickly as possible.

Alabama lands commitment from four-star defensive back Chris Williams

Alabama picked up its second 2014 football commitment from Georgia powerhouse Camden County High School on Tuesday when defensive back Chris Williams announced on Twitter that he had committed to the Crimson Tide.


Williams, a 6-foot-1, 170-pound safety from Kingsland, Georgia, is rated a four-star prospect by Scout.com and the 247Composite rankings. Williams' teammate Kalvaraz Bessent committed to Alabama last week. He is the third commitment for Alabama's 2014 recruiting class.

Williams, who lined up at both safety and running back for Camden County last season, also holds scholarship offers from Auburn, North Carolina, Ole Miss and Ohio State.

I'm an Auburn fan but I used to love Alabama basketball....

You do know they ran Wimp off not just because of the secretary incident, but some powers that be thought that the basketball program was getting too big during Alabama football's down years..
