Kalen DeBoer is adding a second sitting FBS head coach to his Alabama coaching staff with Buffalo's Maurice Linguist agreeing to take a job on the Crimson Tide's defensive staff, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.

Linguist will be Alabama's co-defensive coordinator and will also coach defensive backs, a source said.

Having just finished his third season as Buffalo's coach, Linguist will be able to call upon extensive experience coaching defensive backs. He coached the Dallas Cowboys' cornerbacks in 2020 and has worked with college secondaries at nine different programs.
