Alabama football is expected to lose another important staffer.
After graduating names such as AJ Milwee, Major Applewhite, Butch Jones, Rob Ezell, Gordon Steele, and Andy Kwon among others to different jobs, Mike Stoops is about to be on the move too. In a report from Pete Thamel, National College football and basketball reporter for Yahoo Sports, Stoops is expected to be hired as the new defensive coordinator at Florida Atlantic.
Stoops, 59, has been a defensive analyst for the Crimson Tide since 2019.
He helped the program capture a College Football Playoff National Championship last season, and now he has an opportunity to pursue a more impactful role.
