Former Alabama All-American returns to Crimson Tide team as staff member
Former Alabama DB Ha Ha Clinton-Dix formally retired from the NFL on Thursday as a Green Bay Packer. Friday, Clinton-Dix revealed that he has already settled into a new gig with his alma mater.
Clinton-Dix was speaking to Packers reporters Friday when he discussed his return to Alabama in a player development role on Nick Saban’s staff.
“I had an opportunity back in October to go down to Tuscaloosa and spend time with the 2012 championship reunion,” Clinton-Dix shared. “We had a big weekend for that, and I got to spend time with some of my academic advisors. And they were asking me what direction I was going in, and I told them I was looking to flip the page from football and focus on being a servant and, of course, doing what I love and that’s helping others.
“She sat down with me and she damn near opened the floor for me and told me I had an opportunity to come back and work with Nick Saban in a director of player development role here in Tuscaloosa. So right now, we’re in New Orleans. We came down the 26th. We have a game on Saturday against Kansas State. We’ve been down here enjoying New Orleans and getting ready for a game on Saturday.
“That’s where my life is headed is into coaching and helping these kids create great decision-making and making the right choices as they get ready to further their career and head to the NFL and other avenues that they wanna endure after football is over with.”
Clinton-Dix was a consensus All-American and first-team All-SEC selection in 2013, his third and final season at Alabama. The Packers selected Clinton-Dix No. 21 overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Clinton-Dix played in 96 games, making 90 starts, from 2014-to-2019. After 4-plus seasons with the Packers, his final 25 appearances came with Washington and Chicago in the 2018 and ’19 seasons. Clinton-Dix’s pro career highlights include All-Rookie Team (2014), Pro Bowl (2016) and second-team All-Pro (2016).
Since the end of the 2019 season, Clinton-Dix has spent time with the Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos as an offseason/practice squad member. Clinton-Dix signed a 1-day contract to retire as a Packer.

Welcome home Ha Ha.
Just a desperate move to try and keep with Georgia.
I think it’s the other way around , everyone is to keep up with Alabama , a bad season for Alabama is not playing in the championship they where 10-2 this year that’s a good season for a lot of teams but it’s Alabamas worst
Is 8-4 a great season at Alabama????? How about 7-5??? Because Alabama was really close the last few years!!!!!
PS. Paul Finebaum has repeatedly said GEORGIA was the new DYNASTY and KIRBY SMART WAS THE NEW KING!!!!!!
Negan
Look out everyone!!! Paul said Georgia was the new king so it must be true!!! Good to know Randy that you still know nothing of the sport. You do realize that Georgia was a few plays from having a few loses as well, right? Maybe that slipped pst your mind when you were faking your own death again!! How is your fake sister doing? You still have that weird attraction towards her? Good to know that Alabama does and always will live in your head rent free.
Oh thank goodness Dougie is okay. I have been SOOO WORRIED as she has not shown her face in a week to provide so much witty commentary. I am so happy that she is okay. Oh Dougie, please don’t do this to us. We were so very worried that you got a life… oh wait you don’t have a life as you like to comment on 12/25. Such a loser
I work from home, make six figures, have a beautiful wife, daughter in private school with a nice home in East Cobb. I guess you are right I have no life.
Hahahaha if your life is so great, why are you on here waiting for Bamatime and Gabriel??? It is easy to lie when you are behind a keyboard. Why also come on here and comment on 12/25??? Why not spend time with your make believe family. Everything you mentioned above means absolutely nothing when you have no joy, which is apparent you don’t have. You and Negan need to get some help. It’s getting sad watching you guys always comment on any Alabama article. Enjoy your make believe life.
Oh man it is just so funny watching you come on here and lie, Dougie!! First Al.coke and now this site. You are just a sad sad troll, and you have absolutely no joy in your life! Have fun stalking BT and Gabriel because that is all you care about!!! Man, what a loser!!!!
GabrielRTR is a bullying c-oward who sat on his pedestal $pewing every 1980 Georgia j-oke he could think of from his trailer park. Now he disappeared after the Tennessee Red Knicks chased him off. It’s Georgia time! The College Football road to a championship goes through Athens for the next 5 years.
Hahaha that’s what you have to say after I exposed you as a loser troll! Good to know you put all of your happiness in a game played by kids. Man, I thought Negan was bad until you started posting.
Why is this a desperate move? It seems like he enjoyed his college years and respects Saban and wants to be back at his alma mater, he may want to get into coaching and Alabama is a pretty good place for that, just ask your head coach.
