Alabama has hired former Texas coach Charlie Strong as a defensive analyst, Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger reported Wednesday.
Strong returns to Alabama after spending a year as a Jaguars assistant in 2021 and then serving as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at the University of Miami last season under coach Mario Cristobal.
Strong previously served as a defensive assistant at Alabama in ’20, helping the Crimson Tide win the College Football Playoff national championship. He rejoins Nick Saban’s coaching staff to anchor a Crimson Tide defense that finished third in passing yards (187.8) allowed and fourth in rushing yards (130.4) allowed per game in the SEC in 2022.
