Alabama’s coaching search continued on Tuesday as the Crimson Tide are expected to hire Ole Miss special teams coordinator Coleman Hutzler to the same position according to Matt Zenitz of On3. Hutzler has also updated his social media announcing the hiring.
In his bio, Hutzler lists himself as the Crimson Tide’s new special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach. During the 2021 season, Drew Svoboda and Sal Sunseri filled those spots and there is currently no official word on both coaches’ status for the 2022 year.
Hutzler began his coaching career at San Diego as a defensive assistant in 2006 before leaving for Stanford as a recruiting assistant and then a defensive assistant from 2007-09. Following his three years with the Cardinal Hutzler would serve as the special teams coordinator and linebacker coach at his next five jobs at New Mexico State (2012-13), Florida 2010-11, 2014) Boston College (2015) and South Carolina. While with the Gamecocks he was nominated for the Broyles Award for the nation’s top assistant coach in 2017.
He’d then join Texas as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach in 2020 before finding himself with the Rebels as the special teams coordinator in 2021.
