That's the scuttlebutt. If so, he will be leaving Tennessee.

Says who? Not that it's a big deal or anything, we have to drop a coach anyway and I'd rather it be him than YAC, but I haven't heard this from anywhere else

Wait, he has to leave Tennessee to join the staff at Bama? Why can’t he do both? That’s not fair

I swear to God coaching changes in the SEC is the equivalent of a swinger's convention with the way we all swap.

Official per Volquest
quote:
Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt has lost assistant coach Charles Kelly to Alabama. The veteran secondary coach is leaving Rocky Top to coach the secondary for the Tide with sources telling Volquest that Kelly could be in line to for a bigger title once Nick Saban finalizes the rest of his staff.
Sources say the deal is just under 1 million dollars per year.
Kelly came to Tennessee a season ago after five seasons at Florida State in which the last four he served as the defensive coordinator in Tallahassee. With the Vols in 2018, Kelly worked as the safeties coach and special teams coordinator.
With Kelly’s departure, Pruitt is now down to 10 full-time assistant coaches on his staff after adding former Vol Tee Martin earlier this week. Responsibilities for the staff have not been released.
Last season, Tennessee had five assistants on each side of the ball.
Kelly is the second on the field coach to leave from Pruitt’s inaugural staff as Tyson Helton left to be the head coach at Western Kentucky. Earlier this week, John Lily, who was an assistant to Pruitt in an off the field role, accepted the tight ends position with the Cleveland Browns. Both Lily and Kelly played key roles in Tennessee’s special team units this past season.

pretty impressive when you parlay the Def Coor job at Jacksonville State into the Def Coor job at Henderson State, and then Def Coor at Eufaula High School
Then helping Jimbo drive FSU into the dirt is a nice touch

He was part of the demise FSU football. Good position coach, but absolutely the worst DC imaginable!

All I know about Kelly is he got WAY too much hate from FSU fans.
