Report: Ex-Jaguars HC Doug Marrone Hired as Alabama's OL Coach Under Nick Saban

The University of Alabama is reportedly set to hire former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach as its offensive line coach.

According to Matt Zenitz of AL.com, Marrone is in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, while his hiring is being finalized.

Marrone spent the past four seasons as head coach of the Jags, but he was fired this month on the heels of a 1-15 season and replaced by former University of Florida and Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer.

Crimson Tide head football coach Nick Saban has a penchant for adding former NFL and college head coaches to his staff, and Marrone is the latest example.
