Just a Minute: Alabama Football's Coaching Staff Finalized
It's been a wild month for new Alabama head football coach Kalen DeBoer. He's gone from losing the national championship game as head coach of the Washington Huskies to being tasked with keeping college football's most prominent dynasty on the tracks in the wake of Nick Saban's retirement.
While recruiting and managing the Alabama roster were undoubtedly a priority for DeBoer one of his primary tasks was constructing a coaching staff to both implement his system on the field, but recruit at a high level off the field.
It took almost a month but DeBoer has finally locked in his entire coaching staff for the 2024 season.
Offense:
- Offensive Coordinator - Ryan Grubb
- Running Backs - Robert Gillespie
- Wide Receivers - JaMarcus Shepard
- Offensive Line - Scott Huff
- Tight Ends - Nick Sheridan
Defense:
- Defensive Coordinator - Kane Wommack
- Defensive Line - Freddie Roach
- Linebackers - William Inge
- Defensive Backs - Maurice Linguist
- Defensive Backs - Colin Hitchler
- Special Teams Coordinator - Jay Nunez
The only issue with the staff, as been reported thus far, is the numbers. DeBoer is allowed 10 on-field assistants and currently there are 11 coaches. Will Nunez be relegated to an "off field" role?
There was always going to be a bit of a Washington flavor on the staff but now that it's finalized we can see five coaches from last year's Huskies staff in Tuscaloosa. Additionally, DeBoer has picked up two coaches with head coaching experience in Wommack and Linguist while having four coaches with defensive coordinator experience in Wommack, Inge, Linguist and Hitchler.
