Sources: Derek Dooley joining Alabama Crimson Tide football team as offensive analyst

Another former head coach is joining Nick Saban's staff at Alabama.

Former Tennessee coach Derek Dooley, who was the New York Giants' tight ends coach this past season, has been hired to serve as offensive analyst for the Crimson Tide, sources confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.

Dooley was Tennessee's head coach from 2010 to '12, and has bounced back and forth between pro and college football since. He was the Dallas Cowboys' wide receivers coach from 2013 to '17, then worked as Missouri's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2018 to '19, before returning to the NFL as an offensive analyst for the Giants in 2020 and then tight ends coach this past season.
