For 15 years Craig Kuligowski roamed the sidelines of Faurot Field, producing multiple NFL first-round picks while helping lead Missouri to Big 12 and SEC division titles.
This Saturday, Kuligowski will be on Alabama’s sideline when the Tigers come to town. Known as the man behind “D-Line Zou,” the longtime Missouri defensive line coach wasn’t retained when Barry Odom replaced Gary Pinkel as the Tigers’ football coach.
Coach “Kool” wound up at the University of Miami for two seasons before joining Alabama for this season. Kuligowski played offensive line at Toledo, where Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban coached him for his senior season.
