"We are excited to have Lane join our staff," Saban said in a statement. "He is an outstanding and creative offensive coach who has great experience both at the college and NFL level.
"He has a very good understanding of the game and I have always been impressed with what I saw in the games he called. He coaches with a great deal of passion and enthusiasm, and also does an excellent job as a teacher."
