Newly Hired Alabama LB Coach Austin Armstrong Leaving For Florida DC Job

Multiple sources report that newly hired Alabama linebacker coach Austin Armstrong is leaving Nick Saban's staff to be the new defensive coordinator at Florida.

Armstrong will replace co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Patrick Toney, who will join the Arizona Cardinals staff as a defensive assistant.

Armstrong was the defensive coordinator at Southern Miss for the past two seasons and was recently hired by Saban this past January to coach the inside linebacker position.

He will now be headed to Billy Napier's staff in Gainesville.
