Tosh Lupoi
Lupoi is currently coaching the Atlanta Falcons’ defensive line and is part of a staff in which head coach Dan Quinn was fired after five games. His tenure with the Falcons after this season is uncertain.
He served as outside linebackers coach at Alabama from 2016-17 when Pruitt was the Crimson Tide’s defensive coordinator.
Allan Bridgford was recruited and played for Lupoi at California (2009-12). He previously discussed what it would take for Pruitt to hire Lupoi to his coaching staff following the conclusion of the 2020 season.
“I don’t see Tosh coming back to college unless he is a defensive coordinator at a SEC or a top-tier school, or a head coach at a reputable program,” Bridgford told Vols Wire. “He is not going to leave the NFL unless it is an offer he cannot refuse.”
