BREAKING: Alabama Crimson Tide Coach Kalen DeBoer Secures Another Significant Addition to New Coaching Staff.
Alabama Crimson Tide Coach Kalen DeBoer has been swift in his efforts to maintain the program’s supremacy in college football since succeeding Nick Saban. DeBoer has successfully secured the services of his top two coordinators, with former Washington offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb making a significant move to Tuscaloosa.
Grubb, who recently completed his second season with Washington and previously spent five seasons with Fresno State, played a pivotal role in the Huskies’ impressive offensive performance in 2022. Washington ranked second in the country with an average of 515.8 yards per game and seventh with 39.7 points per game. Grubb’s expertise also contributed to the development of quarterback Michael Penix Jr., leading the Huskies to become the second-best passing team in college football.
Interestingly, Grubb had previously interviewed with the Alabama Crimson Tide in January but declined the offensive coordinator position to remain with DeBoer at Washington.
On the defensive side, DeBoer brought in Kane Wommack, the former head coach of South Alabama, to serve as the new defensive coordinator. Wommack, with playing experience at Arkansas and Southern Miss, has previously coached at various institutions and brings a wealth of knowledge to the Crimson Tide. He emphasized his ability to maximize players’ potential and create winning opportunities through strategic defensive play.
Joining the coaching staff is William Inge, who served as Washington’s co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. With his experience and Assistant Head Coach title, Inge is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the Alabama Crimson Tide’s defensive strategy. A former Iowa standout and Tennessee Titans draftee, Inge’s coaching career has been decorated, including a stint as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Fresno State before reuniting with DeBoer at Washington.
