An Alabama assistant was being targeted for a position on Dave Aranda’s staff at Baylor.

He won’t be taking the job, though.

Crimson Tide cornerbacks coach Karl Scott has turned down a job offer from Aranda, according to sources.

Scott would have been co-defensive coordinator in addition to working with the secondary, per sources.

Scott just finished his second season as a member of Alabama’s staff.

Aided by Scott, the Tide ranked 11th nationally in pass defense this past season. In addition, Scott is ranked third nationally and first in the SEC in the 247Sports Composite recruiter rankings for the Class of 2020.

Scott is listed as the primary or secondary recruiter for nine of the Tide’s 22 December signees as well as for two unsigned Alabama commits.
