Recently former LSU Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron stated that he would “never” join the Alabama staff under Nick Saban. The same cannot be said for former LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger.
According to a report from Matt Zenitz of On3, the former quarterback is set to join Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama as an analyst. Mettenberger played for the Tigers from 2011-2013.
During that time, he passed for 5,783 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. His best year came in 2013 prior to making the jump to the NFL. Mettenberger lasted just two seasons with the Tennessee Titans in 2014 and 2015. He was last a member of the Memphis Express of the AAF in 2019. He spent the last two seasons as an offensive coordinator at the high school level.
Mettenberger now returns to the SEC, but with the enemy.
Alabama has hired former LSU and NFL QB Zach Mettenberger as an analyst. He’s already listed in the Crimson Tide’s staff directory.

As a Tigers quarterback, Mettenberger faced off with the Tide in two games as a starter. Both of which ended in a loss for LSU. In those games, Mettenberger passed for two touchdowns and 539 yards combined.
Now it appears that his next job will be helping Alabama in the upcoming season. The Tide will return to Baton Rouge on Nov. 5.
