Nick Saban continues to build upon his coaching staff for the 2022 season. His most recent addition is Derek Dooley, an old friend of Saban who has coached alongside the legendary head coach at a couple different stops.
According to a report from FootballScoop, Dooley will be joining the Crimson Tide staff as a Senior Offensive Analyst.
Dooley and Saban have coached together in the past. While Saban was the head coach of LSU, Dooley served as the assistant head coach and running backs coach; and while Saban was the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, Dooley was the team’s tight ends coach.
He most recently served as the tight ends coach for the New York Giants in 2021 and was a senior offensive assistant one season prior in 2020.
Dooley has made a few stops in the SEC, most notably as the head coach of Tennessee from 2010-2012.
