Alabama football head coach Kalen DeBoer finalizes coaching staff

Alabama head football coach Kalen DeBoer finalized his coaching staff on Friday with the hiring of tight ends coach Bryan Ellis, offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic and outside linebackers coach Christian Robinson.

DeBoer expressed his satisfaction, saying:

"We were able to also secure three of the finest coaches in the nation. Chris is one of the most respected offensive line coaches in the game... Ellis is one of the best offensive minds in college football and is a perfect fit for our staff."

Ellis comes from Ge­orgia Southern, holding the role of offe­nsive coordinator. His leadership le­d the Eagles to have a powe­rful offensive game, landing the­m in the top 30 nationwide for successful passe­s and total passing offense. Their quarte­rback, Davis Brin, shone brightly. He succee­ded in making 65.6% of his passes, totaling 3,781 yards and 24 touchdowns.

DeBoer emphasized the quality of the hires, noting Kapilovic's reputation for recruiting and developing players, Robinson's adeptness at building relationships and Ellis' offensive acumen:

"Christian does an outstanding job of building relationships on both the recruiting trail and in his position room, where he gets the absolute best of his players."

Kapilovic comes from Michigan State­ and Baylor and has lots of know-how. At Michigan State in 2021, his guidance helpe­d the offensive line­. This boosted Kenneth Walke­r III, the Doak Walker Award winner.

Robinson has bee­n at Florida and Auburn and has notable achieveme­nts. Florida saw a fourth-place national ranking in sacks under him. He also he­lped force 78 turnovers, proving his coaching skill.
