Another member of Jerod Mayo’s coaching staff has found a new landing spot.
Tyler Hughes, who was the New England Patriots wide receivers coach in 2024, has joined the staff at Alabama. Hughes' exact role remains vague. He’s currently listed in the Crimson Tide’s staff directory as a “football analyst.”
A week after the Patriots hired Mike Vrabel as the replacement for Mayo, news broke that Hughes was among the coaches who would not be returned in 2025.
The jump to Tuscaloosa reunites Hughes with head coach Kalen DeBoer.
