COLUMBIANA, Alabama -- Andrew Zow will tell you that he had successes and failures during his career as a quarterback at Alabama.
Zow has accepted a new challenge as the head football coach at Montevallo High School.
"The up-and-down career I had at Alabama makes me a better man today," the 33-year-old father of three said. "My career was up and down because I didn't play every year on a fulltime basis. It made me understand being a team player. It made me understand being able to support your team even though you're not on the field."
Zow has twice run his own business in Birmingham. But each time, he returned to football.

I remember in the midst of the down years when everybody was kicking our azz with John David Phillips as our QB, we were heavy underdogs against UF. Zow made his presence known by almost pulling out a win. Bama lost that game 16-10, but you could see the talent and competitive nature in Zow. He proved to be inconsistent much of the time, but he was fun to watch.

Best thing about Zow?  He could beat Auburn.

I was at that UF game. I thought AZ was going to bring us back. Even though his career was up and down, he has always seemed to be a real standup guy. Kudos to AZ on the coaching gig.
