RELATED: How Kane Wommack enhances Alabama’s defense
Reporters heard from head coach Kalen DeBoer, offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan, and defensive coordinator Kane Wommack. Spring practice was successful and fall camp increased the physicality, but now it’s time for football.
Many changes have happened in the offseason, including the new helmet communication between coaches and players. In wanting to properly execute, the Crimson Tide has assigned on-field or press box responsibilities for its coaches.
DeBoer will obviously be on the field as the head coach; however, two of his assistants will be in the box for this season.
The assignment for all 11 assistant coaches for Alabama is below.
