At least one coaching candidate has interviewed for Alabama’s defensive line coach vacancy, BamaOnLine has learned.

Tulane defensive line coach Kevin Peoples recently interviewed for the position, according to BOL sources. Peoples just finished his second season working with the Green Wave.

In his first season at Tulane in 2016, Peoples coached a defensive line anchored by Tanzel Smart, who earned first-team honors from the American Athletic Conference and went on to be a sixth-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Prior to joining Tulane, Peoples spent two seasons at Georgia Southern. In his final season at GSU in 2015, Peoples’ D-line ranked first in the Sun Belt and 24th nationally in rushing defense (130.9 avg) and second and 24th nationally in total defense (338.1).

Peoples has also coached at UAB, Arkansas and Arkansas State -- where he spent eight years.

Another possible candidate for the vacancy is Kentucky defensive line coach Derrick LeBlanc, BOL has learned. LeBlanc was a graduate assistant at LSU under coach Nick Saban.

Alabama is in need of a D-line coach after Karl Dunbar was hired by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
