The New York Giants signed former Crimson Tide offensive lineman J.C. Hassenauer.

Antoine Pettway was reported to be interviewing with Kennesaw State for their head coaching job.

Alabama asst Antoine Pettway meeting with Kennesaw St today, source told @Stadium.

If Pettway gets job, it would be historic - at least since I recall.
