After a successful career that saw a Pro Bowl appearance and second-team All-Pro honor, [autotag]HaHa Clinton-Dix[/autotag] retired from the NFL and is returning to his roots.
The former safety will be joining the Alabama Crimson Tide staff as the Director of Player Development.
Clinton-Dix was a two-time national champion during his playing days with Alabama and hopes to bring back some of that gritty defensive mentality. Clinton-Dix will pair up with Josh Chapman who is already in the role and is also a former player under Nick Saban. The new hire should also pay massive dividends for new defensive coordinator Kevin Steele.
I think all of Alabama nation will agree this is a massive hire!
Alabama is now listing HaHa Clinton-Dix as its director of player development, a role he said he'd assume when he announced his retirement from the Green Bay Packers in December. Josh Chapman is also still listed as director of player development, too.
