Alabama is poised to bolster its football coaching staff with the addition of 39-year-old Buffalo head coach Maurice Linguist as a co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach. Kalen DeBoer, who recently took the helm at Alabama, is in the process of assembling his team, while retaining some from Nick Saban's former staff. Linguist, who holds a head coaching record of 14-23 at the University of Buffalo and has experience coaching defensive backs at Texas A&M, Mississippi State, and the Dallas Cowboys, is the second sitting FBS head coach DeBoer has recruited to his defensive staff, following Kane Wommack. ESPN was the first to report Linguist's expected hire.
