    Most everyone has made up their minds that Jacob Coker will indeed be Alabama's next starting quarterback.

    But the one person whose opinion matters -- coach Nick Saban -- hasn't decided on anything quite yet.

    "That's really not internally the perception by me, our staff or our players," Saban said Thursday. "Jake Coker has the opportunity to come in and compete for the position.

    "Blake Sims has been competing for the position. He really did a pretty good job in the spring. He didn't play great in the spring game, but we really didn't do the things that he's capable of doing."

    Coker transferred to Alabama this spring after graduating from Florida State, where he backed up Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Jameis Winston last season. In his career, Coker has completed only 21 passes for 275 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
