A source has confirmed that Fresno State offensive coordinator Jim McElwain is a leading candidate to take the same position at the University of Alabama .
Alabama head coach Nick Saban and McElwain are scheduled to meet in Tucson on Sunday and both sides believe a deal could be reached. The position became open when Tide offensive coordinator Major Applewhite returned to the University of Texas .
McElwain was assistant head coach at Michigan State and the quarterbacks coach for the Oakland Raiders for one season, among his coaching stops.
