Alabama Football Analysts and Support Staff Let Go Under Coach DeBoer
The Alabama Crimson Tide football program is in the midst of sweeping changes after legendary head coach Nick Saban announced his retirement one week ago. Crimson Tide athletic director Greg Byrne moved quickly and hired Kalen DeBoer to take over to lead the Alabama football program into the future.
The Alabama fan base has appeared excited for the future under DeBoer as he brings in a coaching staff responsible for on of the best offenses in college football over the last two years.
One unfortunate aspect of a coaching change no matter how it occurs is program-wide personnel changes.
Chris Hummer and Matt Zenitz of 247Sports reported Wednesday several Crimson Tide staff members will not be part of DeBoer's new staff in Tuscaloosa.
Former Boston College offensive coordinator and analyst John McNulty and former LSU quarterback and analyst Zach Mettenberger are reportedly out.
Former NFL head coach and senior advisor to the head coach Ken Whisenhunt and former college head coach Charlie Strong are also not expected to be part of the staff.
2023 Alabama offensive coaches Tommy Rees and Eric Wolford were replaced by Ryan Grubb and Scott Huff. It is now being reported that 2023 linebackers coach Robert Bala won't be retained as well.
Many reports already stated defensive line coach Freddie Roach and running backs coach Robert Gillespie were being retained from the previous regime. However 247Sports indicates former Alabama player and analyst Jamey Mosley will be retained along with analyst George Banko as well.
Saban's retirement would always bring a period of transition and a sense of excitement has taken hold of the Crimson Tide fanbase, but there are numerous people left looking for new opportunities in the wake of change.
