Alabama brought Doug Marrone onto the football staff for the 2021 season as the team’s offensive line coach. Marrone had just been relieved of his head coaching duties from the Jacksonville Jaguars at the time.
Marrone received criticism from fans and analysts for the Crimson Tide’s offensive line performance in 2021. He separated from the program after the season concluded.
Recently, Alabama hired Kentucky’s former offensive line coach from this past season, Eric Wolford. The hire was announced prior to Marrone landing this position with the New Orleans Saints.
As NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported today, Marrone will be joining the Saints’ offensive staff, but his official role has not yet been announced.
The #Saints are hiring an old friend, bringing back #Bama OL coach and former #Jaguars coach Doug Marrone for a key role on their offensive staff, source said.
