Alabama hires new defensive line coach (TideSports)
quote:
Less than two weeks since losing its defensive line coach, Alabama has its replacement. UA has hired veteran assistant coach Craig Kuligowski to serve as the Crimson Tide’s new defensive line coach, The Tuscaloosa News has learned.
SportsIllustrated.com first reported the hiring Monday evening.
Kuligowski replaces Karl Dunbar, who left Tuscaloosa to head back to the NFL as the defensive line coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Kuligowski comes from Miami, where he spent two seasons in the same role. Previously he coached the position for Missouri, where he mentored and developed five first-round defensive lineman, including Shane Ray and Sheldon Richardson.
Miami released the following statement Monday: “The University of Miami announced Monday night that assistant head coach/defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski is leaving the program to pursue other opportunities. Kuligowski coached two seasons in Coral Gables after spending the previous 15 years as the defensive line coach at the University of Missouri.’’
That opportunity is at Alabama, where he reunites with with Saban for whom he played at Toledo in 1990. Kuligowski interviewed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before accepting UA’s offer.
Alabama’s defensive line returns one starter from its 2017 top-ranked defense in Raekwon Davis, although Isaiah Buggs played a significant portion of the snaps. However, there is young talent on hand in Quinnen Williams, LaBryan Ray among others.

If you look up the definition of the word "Baw", it just shows that photo.

Wonder if Karl Jr will stick around, or will his dad manage to get him a job with the Steelers too?
The youngest Dunbar was an intern this past season...

I wonder if Nick and Bama ever got the money that Groh owed the U of A when he jumped ship.

He does these things all the time, but whenever something perceived as negative happens a big chunk of our fanbase loses their shait. I just can't understand why they don't just sit back and enjoy the ride content in the knowledge that Saban knows what the frick he's doing.

The important question is who is the blonde

I love the Enos addition. Which means he'll either be awful or will move on the earliest.

Yeah coach Saban is just relentless man. That's a great staff that looks like it might stick together a few years.

Details of Weinke’s contract at Tennessee are out. He’s getting a base of 510K. And he’s never coached the position.
I don’t think Alabama pays Burton Burns that much.

That's insane. 
Good. I hope they also gave him a five-year contract with full buyout protection.

It’s insane. And I was having a hard time believing Ole Miss was paying Roach 550K. But at least he has experience.

I've been out of the loop. Thanks OP, for keeping this updated.
Sounds like a great hire for DL.
But Enos is the one that really surprises me. He's a guy I expected to be hired as an OC somewhere else.
