05:45 PM ET 03.21 | The Alabama Crimson Tide have hired recommended Tennessee coach Bill Battle to be the new athletic director. Battle follows in the footsteps of Mal Moore, who stepped down from his position on Wednesday. Battle played football at Alabama from 1960-62, then became an assistant coach at Army and Tennessee for the rest of the decade before coaching the Vols in the early 70s to several bowl victories. Battle was also the foudner and chairman of The Collegiate Licensing Company.
