“I’m excited to get started. I’m excited to roll my sleeves up and get to work, because the cupboard’s not bare, I can promise you that,” Rob Vaughn previously said. “It’s time for us knock down the gates of Omaha. I’ve been waiting all day to say this: Roll Tide.”

In addition to Potter and Vaughn, several other Alabama athletics employees had new contracts approved on Tuesday.
