Former college and NFL assistant coach George Godsey was expected to interview for the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach vacancy at Alabama on Wednesday, two sources told BamaOnLine.com.

Godsey spent the last six seasons in the NFL with the Houston Texans (2014-16) and New England Patriots (2011-13). Prior to that, he spent the beginning of his coaching career at Central Florida, where he earned his start as a graduate assistant. Godsey was elevated to quarterbacks coach at UCF in 2005 and moved over to the Golden Knights’ running backs coach in 2009-10.

He previously worked with Alabama offensive line coach Brent Key and associate athletics director for football Ed Marynowitz at Central Florida. In addition to working together at UCF, Godsey and Key were teammates at Georgia Tech.

Most recently, Godsey served as the offensive coordinator for the Houston Texans during the 2015 and 2016 seasons. He coached quarterbacks for the club in 2014. Godsey and the Texans agreed to a mutual parting of ways following the 2016 campaign.

Godsey also served as an offensive assistant (2011) and tight ends coach (2012-2013) in New England.

As a player, Godsey was a two-year starter at Georgia Tech, where he guided the Yellow Jackets to consecutive bowl games while behind center.
