So no other Saban assistant ever used the job to get a head coaching job? Isn't that what all assistants try to do?
Applewhite was a huge disappointment at Bama. He was brought in to tap into Texas recruits, which he failed at. He showed slight signs of good for about half a season, and that was about it. No one in Tuscaloosa wanted to keep Applewhite, especially when his loyalty was questioned as it was obvious Alabama was a stepping stone for Applewhite. He had a very entitled attitude and was not very liked.
He has done a good job tapping into Texas recruits since he has been at Texas so maybe it was just that no one in Texas wanted to play for Saban at the time?
No well liked? By who? You?

He may have grown up a Bama fan but by the time he coached there everyone knew he wanted to be back at Texas.
So he's done a good job recruiting Texas while coaching at Texas. Like that means anything?
He was not well liked by many players, coaches, fans and boosters at Bama (and this info comes from some of those same players, fans and boosters).
