Secondary coach John Neal, a potential candidate for the UAB coaching opening, also was considered for the defensive coordinator job. All-American cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, who has announced he'll return for his senior season, said having Neal around was a major influence in the decision.

Did that uncertainty about who will be defensive coordinator play a role at all in your decision?

EKPRE-OLOMU: I don't think so, I mean definitely having coach (John) Neal here is pretty much the main reason for me. If it was something like him leaving then it might be different but having him here is pretty much my main goal, or reason.

What did he say to you when you told him?

EKPRE-OLOMU: I mean he was happy. He was happy I made the decision and he feels I made a good decision in the long run. He told me that I'm ready to do whatever I think I should do and that's all I could ask for.

Any player's parents should be delighted to have him as their son's coach.

last time he was considered there were some you tube vids out there showing him joking around with his players. you can tell he is a players coach and at this point uab needs a players coach.
