The coaching tree continues to grow for former Alabama head coach Nick Saban despite his retirement. On Friday, former Alabama assistant defensive coordinator and safeties coach Charles Kelly was named the newest head coach at Jacksonville State University.
The news comes just weeks after Jacksonville State head coach Rich Rodriguez accepted the head coaching position at West Virginia.
Kelly is decorated coordinator and pristine recruiter in the southeast. Most recently, he served as the co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Auburn. He was very instrumental in helping the Tigers land some of the state’s top prospects and was impactful in assembling one of the nation’s top overall recruiting classes.
