Two weeks notice: 'Bama assistant rolls back to NFL

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- After only two weeks on the job, Alabama assistant coach Steve Marshall has left to take a job with the NFL's Cleveland Browns.

"It's a wonderful opportunity for Steve," Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said Sunday. "It's a shame that it didn't work out for him here, but I wish him well."

Marshall was out of coaching this past year after two seasons as an offensive line assistant with the Houston Texans.
