In case you missed it, Alabama had a flurry of players enter the transfer portal following the National Championship loss. Most are expected cases, though it is disappointing to see Drew Sanders go as a guy that’s been a key depth piece and rotational player.
Moving on, the coaching staff changes are beginning:
Alabama cornerbacks coach Jay Valai is headed to Oklahoma in the role of co-defensive coordinator/pass defense, the Sooners announced Tuesday evening.
Oklahoma said Valai will coach cornerbacks and nickel backs under new head coach Brent Venables.
When guys move on from Alabama to a lateral role, it usually means he wasn’t a great fit on the staff the move is a mutual parting.
