Alabama targeting former Georgia strength coach Aaron Feld

The Alabama Crimson Tide are considering hiring Oregon Ducks strength and conditioning coach Aaron Feld, who previously coached at Georgia.

The Alabama Crimson Tide lost an excellent strength and conditioning coach in Scott Cochran, who joined the staff at Georgia this past week. Now, the Crimson Tide are considering hiring Oregon Ducks strength and conditioning coach Aaron Feld. Before Feld coached at Oregon, he was under Kirby Smart in Athens.

Feld coached at UGA from 2015 to 2017 as the assistant strength and conditioning coach. Feld helped Kirby Smart develop players like Roquan Smith, Nick Chubb, and Sony Michel during his time in Athens.

He left Georgia following the National Championship defeat to become the strength and conditioning coach at Oregon under Mario Christobal. The Ducks have had success with Feld as well. Oregon defeated Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl this season and is returning a good bit of talent in 2020.

Feld would be a logical choice at Alabama based on his previous success. The Crimson Tide will miss Scott Cochran, who is now joining Kirby Smart once again at Georgia, but Strength and Conditioning coaches can only do so much for the team.

Feld reportedly met with Nick Saban at Alabama this week and has removed Oregon from his Twitter bio. That being said, nothing is set in stone. Fans should bet on either Feld heading to Alabama or staying at Oregon after getting a raise.

Will Feld stay or go?
