Alabama DC Tosh Lupoi Is Leaving The Coaching Staff

Alabama defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi has left the Crimson Tide to join the Cleveland Browns coaching staff under new head coach Freddie Kitchens.

Lupoi first joined Alabama's staff in 2014 as a defensive analyst and was promoted to outside linebacker coach in 2016 and then received co-defensive coordinator duties in 2017. Per ESPN:

Lupoi's departure adds another hole for Alabama head coach Nick Saban to fill on his coaching staff.

Since the Crimson Tide lost the College Football Playoff National Championship to Clemson on Jan. 7, offensive coordinator Mike Locksley (Maryland), co-offensive coordinator Josh Gattis (Michigan), quarterbacks coach Dan Enos (Miami) and offensive line coach Brent Key (Georgia Tech) have all left.

The Browns hired Freddie Kitchens, a former Alabama quarterback, as their head coach this week.
