Charlie Strong will be back on the Crimson Tide sidelines in 2023. According to Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger, Strong has been hired to be a defensive analyst at Alabama.
Strong served as a defensive analyst at Alabama in 2020. He has since served as inside linebackers coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Most recently, he was the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Miami.
Interestingly enough, Strong served alongside Kevin Steele as co-defensive coordinator for the Hurricanes. Steele will be Alabama’s defensive coordinator this season and Strong will be working under him.
Strong has a background as a defensive coordinator and is good at organizing gameplans. With Austin Armstron’s departure, Strong could be in charge of helping create the gameplan each week for the Crimson Tide. A specific role for Strong has not been determined at this time.
Whatever the case may be, head coach Nick Saban made a wise decision to bring an experienced assistant coach back to Tuscaloosa.
Alabama has hired former Texas coach Charlie Strong as a defensive analyst, sources tell @SInow. Strong worked at Miami in a similar role last season under now-Bama DC Kevin Steele.
