Everyone is always looking to get an edge in college football, and it looks like that’s what No. 4 Alabama (12-1) is doing just a couple weeks before their Rose Bowl matchup against No. 1 Michigan (13-0).
Per multiple reports, Alabama is set to hire former Michigan linebackers coach George Helow. The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman noted that Helow is “expected to begin work immediately.”
Helow was with Michigan for two seasons (2021, 2022) on a staff that won back-to-back Big Ten championships and had consecutive playoff appearances. Helow did not coach this season, until Alabama scooped him up on Thursday.
