Alabama football’s wide receiver coach and now Oregon State head coach JaMarcus Shephard is expected to be with the Crimson Tide during the College Football Playoff.
Shephard was introduced as the head coach of the Beavers last week. He has coached the Crimson Tide in two games since accepting the head coach job at Oregon State.
Kalen DeBoer was asked what the Tide’s plans were for Shephard’s future with the team after the SEC Championship.
“We’re gonna try to make it go as long as we can, and he might have to have a few days, especially early in the week here where he has to take care of some things with his team, and that’s where my background with the position and just the offense and stuff. We’d be lighter here at the beginning of the week no matter what the situation was. We intend to do everything we can to have him with us throughout the course of the playoffs, and I know he wants that.”
Shephard serves as the Tide’s assistant head coach and co-offensive coordinator, along with his wide receiver coaching duties.
