In terms of new hires, the Alabama football team’s offseason has been quite active. The Crimson Tide needed a new coach after head coach Nick Saban announced his retirement at the end of the season.
After acquiring Kalen DeBoer from the Washington football team, Alabama’s offensive coordinator position has been filled with ease by the Crimson Tide.
To assist in directing the offense, Alabama has added two interesting players. Nick Sheridan and JaMarcus Shephard will be joining the Crimson Tide. Shephard will serve as the wide receivers coach, assistant head coach, and co-offensive coordinator, while Sheridan will serve as the official offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer stated, “We are thrilled to have Nick and JaMarcus join us at Alabama. They are both fantastic coaches,” according to a rolltide.com article.
They understand our goals on that side of the football field and have experience with our offense. At every stage of their careers, they have demonstrated themselves to be outstanding instructors and recruiters, bringing a great deal of passion and energy to their work.
As the tight ends coach at Washington last season, Nick Sheridan was also a member of the staff. Along with DeBoer, he worked as the offensive coordinator for the Hoosiers for two years. DeBoer and Alabama will benefit from having players that the head coach is accustomed to.
