TUSCALOOSA | This was no formal introduction.
When the time came for University of Alabama junior quarterback John Parker Wilson to meet new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Jim McElwain, there was a simple knock at the door, and one of them said 'Hi.'
Then they got down to business, McElwain beginning to work with his third different quarterback in three years, Wilson learning from his third offensive coordinator over the same time frame.
'I've kind of gotten used to it, learning new people, learning new offenses,' Wilson said. 'I've gotten good at learning if anything else.
'I like him a lot. I like everything that we're doing, everything we changed up. He has a different teaching style, and I like it a lot.'
McElwain, Wilson and the rest of the Crimson Tide will take the offseason to the practice field beginning Thursday for a month of coach Nick Saban's intense conditioning 'Fourth Quarter' program. Besides 15 practices, the traditional A-Day scrimmage will be April 12.
