For people that appreciate not having to dive through megathreads to find huge news such as new coaches and coordinator hires:

Alabama football seems to have found its next offensive line coach in Chris Kapilovic

The longtime offensive line coach is set to join Kalen DeBoer's staff, ESPN reported Monday. Kapilovic had accepted a job at Baylor coaching the offensive line in December, but he won't coach for the Bears, instead going to Tuscaloosa. He spent the 2020 through 2023 seasons at Michigan State.

Prior to working at Michigan State, Kapilovic worked as the offensive line/run-game coordinator at Colorado in 2019. Before that, he was the offensive coordinator/offensive line coach at North Carolina from 2016-2018. That was his senior-most role with the Tarheels; he also worked as co-offensive coordinator/offensive line from 2014-2015 and run-game coordinator/offensive line from 2012-2013.

Other stops for Kapilovic include Southern Miss, Missouri State, Alabama State, Kansas, Phoenix College and Deer Valley (Ariz.) High School. He got his start as a student assistant coach at Missouri State in 1991, where he played offensive tackle.
