Alabama adds former LSU QB Zach Mettenberger to offensive staff

Alabama adds a familiar name to the offensive staff.

Today, Alabama added Zach Mettenberger to the team’s 2022 offensive staff directory. Mettenberger most notably played for LSU from 2011-2013.

Mettenberger played in the NFL for three teams from 2014-2016, and most recently appeared in the now-defunct AAF in 2019.

Since 2020, Mettenberger has coached high school football in Tennessee, but he will now be returning to the college ranks, this time as an analyst for the Crimson Tide.

In his career at LSU, Mettenberger completed 61.8% of passes for 5,783 yards and 35 touchdowns, while throwing 15 interceptions.

Longhorns to hire new offensive analyst, part ways with Corby Meekins

Texas football is expected to hire former Texas State coach Everett Withers as an offensive analyst.

Although the primary assistant coaching jobs have been filled, head coach Tom Herman must now hire a new offensive analyst.

Corby Meekins was expected to fill this role for the 2020 season. According to Rivals reporter Anwar Richardson, Meekins has accepted a position as the tight ends coach at the University of Houston.

Meekins served as an assistant coach for the wide receivers and tight ends throughout his three-year tenure at Texas. Due to his departure from his newly-designated support staff role, the Longhorns are expected to hire long-time coach Everett Withers.

Withers was most recently the defensive backs coach for the New York Giants, but previously served as the head coach for Texas State, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and James Madison University.

Although Withers didn’t have much success at Texas State, he led James Madison to a conference title in 2015 with an overall record of nine 9-3.

It’s not his first stint in Austin. In 1998, Withers served as the Longhorns defensive backs coach. He is widely considered a great football mind who should make an excellent addition to Herman’s support staff.

Welcome back, coach.
