Alabama is expected to hire longtime NFL assistant Karl Dunbar as its defensive line coach, sources told AL.com.
The Tide's previous defensive line coach, Bo Davis, resigned Friday.
The 48-year old Dunbar has a longstanding relationship with Alabama coach Nick Saban.
A former standout defensive lineman at LSU, Dunbar was LSU's strength and conditioning coach under Saban from 2001-02 and later returned as the Tigers' defensive line coach in 2005 under Les Miles.
Dunbar has worked in the NFL since 2006.
He was the Minnesota Vikings' defensive line coach from 2006-11, the New York Jets' defensive line coach from 2012-14 and the Buffalo Bills' defensive line coach last season.
The Bills fired Dunbar in March.

Kinda surprised Lupoi didn't get the DL

Good pick-up......always picking up the former LSU guys, wonder why?
Anyway, CajunBama Graham Sostan should be happy with this hire.

Probably because he's worked with Saban before. I'd start there.

He was fired. Rant logic dictates that he sucks.

Thought that's exactly what they would do. Wonder if this guy is going to be any good on the recruiting trail because Marvin Wilson dropped Bama solely due to Davis being his recruiter.

20 years from now Alabama will be what NS did today. Just like Alabama is today what da Bear did for it. We are who we are because of the people who went before us.

I'd rather have a coach for the line positions l, rather than a recruiter. Bo Davis was both. Alabama will manage. Lupoi is a rock star recruiter. And becoming a better coach. Played DL at Cal, but seems better as a OLBs coach teaching pass rush.

The UK and the Earth would not exist unless it was created by someone like God. Oh, ok, now I follow Nick Saban is God and you really are an Alabama fan in disguise.

we have quality control coaches on the sidelines that would make excellent coaches, but I think NS wants them to cut their teeth a little more.

Or schools hire good to great coaches, and at times back to back.
