ATLANTA — Alabama is losing another member of its defensive coaching staff.
Defensive backs coach Derrick Ansley will depart the Crimson Tide coaching staff and become Colorado State’s defensive coordinator, according to multiple reports. FootballScoop first reported the news Sunday morning and it was later confirmed by The Coloradoan.
Ansley will coach the Crimson Tide on Monday night in the College Football Playoff Championship Game against Georgia.
Hired in 2016 after three seasons at Kentucky, Ansley is the second member of Alabama’s defensive staff to depart this postseason. Defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt accepted the Tennessee coaching job in December.
