Report: Tennessee assistant Charles Kelly has offer to join Alabama staff

As you probably know by now, Tee Martin has returned home to Knoxville and joined Jeremy Pruitt’s staff at Tennessee. That’s created an interesting situation for Pruitt, who now has 11 on the field coaches for just ten spots. That means one has to go.

Safeties coach and special teams coordinator Charles Kelly has been the focus of this potential reshuffling this week. He was reportedly offered by Maryland this week to be Mike Locksley’s defensive coordinator, but turned that down. Now, according to John Brice, Nick Saban and Alabama are coming after Kelly.

Am told @AlabamaFTBL is close to adding @Vol_Football Special Teams Coord/Safeties coach Charles Kelly.
