Alabama could have a father-son coaching tandem next season. BamaInsider has learned the Crimson Tide is expected to hire Florida defensive line coach Sal Sunseri to its staff. Earlier this week, Alabama hired Sunseri’s son, Vinnie, as a graduate assistant.
This will be Sal’s second stint with Alabama. He also served as the linebackers coach under Nick Saban from 2009-11. It’s not clear what Sal’s role will be on this year’s staff.
Before joining Florida’s staff last season, Sal served as the linebackers coach for the Oakland Raiders from 2015-17. He also has experience calling plays after serving as the defensive coordinator at Tennessee (2012), Alabama A&M (1998-99), Illinois State (1994) and Iowa Wesleyan (1993).
Alabama has an opening at defensive coordinator and outside linebackers coach after Tosh Lupoi left to become the defensive line coach for the Cleveland Browns earlier this week.
