Former Alabama LB coach headed to Big Ten.
Former Alabama football’s linebacker coach, Robert Bala was announced as Washington’s inside linebacker coach Friday after a short stint with Western Michigan.
Bala was the Crimson Tide’s inside linebacker coach during the 2023 football season. He was not retained on Kalen DeBoer’s staff and took the defensive coordinator job at Western Michigan.
Alabama had a rotation of inside linebackers make an impact under Bala with Deontae Lawson, Jihaad Campbell, Trezmen Marshall and Kendrick Blackshire taking most of the snaps last season.
Bala will serve on Washington’s staff during their first year in the Big Ten.
Alabama ball-carriers dominate the NFL’s top 100 runs.
If the former Alabama players featured in the NFL’s “Top 100 Runs of the 2023 Season” were taken out of the rankings, it would need to be renamed “Top 80 Runs of the 2023 Season.”
Eight Crimson Tide alumni account for 20 of the runs chosen by the league for the Top 100 list released this week.
The highest-rated run by a former Alabama player placed third: Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts’ 12-yard touchdown in overtime that lifted the Eagles to a 37-34 victory against the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 26.
