Alabama fires assistant coach Harris
Alabama fired assistant strength and conditioning coach Corey Harris, who gave a loan to safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, a member of the athletic department told ESPN.com Saturday.
Clinton-Dix was suspended by the NCAA for two games earlier this season for accepting the benefit.
The loan was reportedly for less than $500 but violated NCAA bylaw 16.11.2.2, which states: "an institutional employee or representative of the institution's athletics interests may not provide a student-athlete with extra benefits or services, including, but not limited to ... a loan of money."
Clinton-Dix was the only player involved in the loan. Harris was placed on administrative leave when Clinton-Dix was suspended.
The junior ranks fourth on the team with 40 tackles. He also has two interceptions and six pass breakups.
