The University of Alabama officially announced the hire of secondary coach Karl Scott.
“We are excited to announce the addition of Karl Scott to our defensive staff,” Nick Saban said in a release. “He is a bright, young football coach who boasts a lot of experience coaching the secondary. He does an excellent job in terms of teaching the players, and he is someone we believe will be a tremendous asset in recruiting. We welcome his wife Taron and their daughter Kina Bailey to Tuscaloosa.”
Scott comes to Alabama after spending the last two seasons at Texas Tech as the team’s secondary coach. Scott was named the DC at Louisiana-Lafayette in December, but he chose to come to Alabama instead of staying at ULL.
“I have an incredible amount of appreciation for The University of Alabama and the program Coach Saban has built in Tuscaloosa,” Scott said. “I am very thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this coaching staff because as a defensive coach, it doesn’t get any better than working for Coach Saban. I look forward to doing my part to help continue the success this program has enjoyed.”
During his career, Scott has coached the secondary, been a recruiting coordinator and a LBs coach.
A graduate of the University of Florida and founder of Saturday Down South, Kevin is a college football enthusiast.
