JUST NOW: The replacement of Kalen DeBoer and…
In terms of new hires, the Alabama football team’s offseason has been quite active.
To assist in directing the offense, Alabama has added two interesting players. Nick Sheridan and JaMarcus Shephard will be joining the Crimson Tide. Shephard will serve as the wide receivers coach, associate head coach, and co-offensive coordinator, while Sheridan will serve as the official offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer stated, “We are thrilled to have Nick and JaMarcus join us at Alabama. They are both fantastic coaches,” according to a rolltide.com article. They understand our goals on that side of the football field and have familiarity with our offense. At every stage of their careers, they have shown themselves to be exceptional teachers and recruiters, bringing a passion and energy to their job.
Kalen DeBoer has already worked with both of these instructors. From 2022 to 2023, JaMarcus Shephard worked as an assistant head coach and wide receiver coach for the Washington Huskies.
As the tight ends coach at Washington last season, Nick Sheridan was also a member of the staff. Along with DeBoer, he worked as the offensive coordinator for the Hoosiers for two years. DeBoer and Alabama will benefit from having players that the head coach is accustomed to.
