Report: Mike Locksley hires Alabama assistant to on-field role at Maryland

The Alabama Crimson Tide have lost several assistants already this offseason, and it appears we can add one more to that growing list.

This time, the assistant is GA Mike Miller, a former UAB quarterback who worked under OC Mike Locksley in 2018.

And, according to CFB insider Bruce Feldman, Locksley is hiring Miller to fill an on-field role for the Maryland Terrapins in 2019:

Miller has quite a bit of experience for a young coach, so it’s no surprise he’s landing his first on-field role for a Power 5 team.

Nick Saban has a number of openings to fill now, and we’ll soon see if he has his staff filled before National Signing Day in February.
