A former head coach has emerged as a candidate for one of Alabama’s position coach openings.

Ex-Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood is in the mix for the Crimson Tide’s offensive line coach job and interviewed in Tuscaloosa on Monday, sources told AL.com.

The 47-year old Flood, who went 27-24 in four seasons as Rutgers' head coach from 2012 to 2015, has been with the Atlanta Falcons since 2017 and spent the last two seasons working with the coach seemingly set to be hired as the Tide’s offensive coordinator, Steve Sarkisian.

Flood transitioned to a senior assistant role with the Falcons in January after two seasons as the team’s assistant offensive line coach.
