The Athletic's Bruce Feldman reported Thursday that new Miami Hurricanes offensive coordinator Dan Enos left the Alabama Crimson Tide last week without informing Alabama head coach Nick Saban.

Per Feldman's account, Alabama staffers and Saban held a meeting last Friday, and when Enos did not show up it prompted Saban to ask, "Where the F#$% is Dan?!?" Some Alabama staffers had already known Enos agreed to take the Miami job under Manny Diaz, but Saban was unaware, according to the report.

However, shortly after the story was released Enos took to Twitter and gave a different account of his departure from the Crimson Tide.

"I would never leave an employer without telling them I was doing so," Enos wrote in a tweet. "No ghosting here. Nothing but respect for (Coach Nick Saban) and Alabama. Bottom line, business is business and it was time for me to exit. Wish all the best to (Roll Tide Roll), (Coach Nick Saban) and the program."

Since Alabama lost 44-16 to Clemson in the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship to end the season, Alabama head coach Nick Saban has seen offensive coordinator Mike Locksley (Maryland), quarterbacks coach Dan Enos (Miami), defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi (Cleveland Browns), wide receivers coach Josh Gattis (Michigan) and offensive line coach Brent Key (Georgia Tech) leave the program.

Enos spent the past season as the Alabama quarterbacks coach and associate head coach. Before joining the Crimson Tide, Enos was on staffs at Arkansas, Central Michigan and Michigan State, where he played quarterback (1987-90), among others. Enos was also named a Michigan Wolverines offensive assistant under Jim Harbaugh in January 2018 before coming to the Crimson Tide. It was expected that Enos would assume the offensive coordinator role in place of Locksley, who accepted a promotion to be the head coach of the Terrapins. Instead, Enos opted to take the coordinator role with the Hurricanes.

Prior to Enos' response, Feldman appeared on The Paul Finebaum Show Thursday to discuss his original report.

"Some of this was expected," Feldman said about the Alabama staff changes. "Before they had even beaten Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl, a couple sources that I had had told me, last year they had six new assistants come in, and they were expecting similar amount of turnover. But the big surprise that no one was expecting was Dan Enos, who going to take over for Mike Locksley, and by all accounts inside the program had done a really good job in that quarterback room, not just with Tua Tagovailoa, but also Jalen Hurts. Was getting elevated to be the OC, and last Thursday night I heard some rumbling that he was in the mix for the Miami job. And I just thought, kind of dismissively, well he's not going to just leave Alabama with Tua and those four stud young receivers. Why would he do that?

"And then the next morning it all blew up. And then the story that I lead with in the piece on The Athletic is ‘Where's Dan? Where the bleep is Dan?’ It kind of blindsided everybody there. People can read some of the color around it, but that was a curveball. Because what you've had with Nick Saban, and Nick Saban no doubt he is the greatest college football coach we've ever seen in the sport. And it's been remarkable what he's been able to do with a staggering amount of turnover. Five national titles at Alabama, four different offensive coordinators; coordinators have come and gone. Saban is the constant. Scott Cochran and Jeff Allen and the support side of things are a big piece of it, and that's part of the structure put in."

Replacing staff members is nothing new for Saban, but Feldman noted that Enos leaving for Miami is in a different category than some of the other former assistants that have left Tuscaloosa. The reasoning for that is because the move isn't necessarily viewed as a promotion.

"Well now there's this third category, which Dan Enos fits in there, and you're like, 'You're really going there instead of staying at Alabama?'" Feldman said. "And it's really a head-scratcher for a lot of people. But I think it comes back to what guys are comfortable in that environment. Some guys can handle the stress, and the challenges that come with working for Nick Saban. And it's no secret that he's extremely demanding with the work schedule and the grind of all grinds. So you're starting to see that.

"Having said all that, yes it is noteworthy the turnover. But I think, and I wrote this in the story and I've talked to people that have worked there, anybody that thinks this means cracks in the armor and here's the beginning of the end at Alabama I think you're missing the boat there. Because Nick Saban is still there, and they still have a ridiculous amount of players and talent there. And as long as that's there, and the head guy is there, and the Scott Cochrans and Jeff Allens...there's chaos to some degree, but it works. And I suspect it's going to keep working."
