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, associate 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 familiarity with our offense. At every stage of their careers, they have proved themselves to be outstanding instructors and recruiters, bringing a great deal of passion and energy to their work.
Kalen DeBoer has already worked with both of these instructors. From 2022 to 2023, JaMarcus Shephard worked as an assistant head coach and wide receiver coach for the Washington Huskies.
