On Tuesday night, it was reported that he found a new WR coach to replace Josh Gattis, and this new coach comes from the ACC.
Per ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg, the Crimson Tide are expected to add Virginia Tech WR coach Holmon Wiggins to the staff:

Wiggins followed Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente from Memphis, and according to Rittenberg, he was also in the mix for a coordinator job.
Now, he’s reportedly off to Tuscaloosa, though, where he’ll coach a position group that includes talented players like Jerry Jeudy, DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle.
