Former Alabama support staff member Joe Pannunzio is reportedly rejoining the Crimson Tide program.

Pannunzio will coach tight ends and specials teams at Alabama this fall, according to a report from AL.com's Matt Zenitz. BamaOnLine senior analyst Travis Reier earlier reported Pannunzio had interviewed for the position he is now reportedly accepting.

Pannunzio is leaving his post as Director of Personnel Operations with the Philadelphia Eagles. He left for Philadelphia after working at Alabama as Director of Football Operations from 2011-14. As a college assistant, Pannunzio has coached tight ends and special teams at several stops, including TCU, Minnesota, Ole Miss, Auburn and Miami. He also served as the head coach Murray State (2000-05).

Pannunzio worked with UA Associate Athletics Director for Football Ed Marynowitz both at Alabama and in Philadelphia.

Alabama was in need of a tight ends coach after Mario Cristobal accepted the co-offensive coordinator position at Oregon after the national title game. Running backs coach Burton Burns coached the Crimson Tide's special teams units a season ago.
