Marcus Spears was among those that posted reactions on social media Monday night when word began to spread that Craig Kuligowski may land at Alabama.

"Craig Kuligowski is a Bad man at getting Dlineman that 'Bag' and making them better," the former NFL defensive lineman and current SEC Network analyst wrote. "He goes to Bama it's gonna be a problem."

Landing Kuligowski as defensive line coach is considered a big deal for the Crimson Tide.

This 49-year old known as "Coach Kool" has long been regarded as one of the nation's top defensive line coaches and will now be joining Alabama's staff after spending the last two seasons at Miami.

Aided by Kuligowski's defensive line, the Hurricanes ranked first nationally in sacks last season and were fourth in tackles for a loss.

Three members of that D-line received All-ACC recognition.

Before Miami, Kuligowski spent 15 seasons at Missouri, where he helped five players develop into NFL first-round draft picks.

Kuligowski, who was an all-conference offensive tackle under Nick Saban at Toledo in 1990, had also reportedly been in the mix for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defensive line coach job.

"I have known Craig for a long time, going all the way back to my first head coaching job at Toledo when he was one of our starting offensive tackles," Saban said. "He is an outstanding football coach who will bring great energy to our program. Craig does a tremendous job of developing players and has proven to be an exceptional recruiter."

Cole Cubelic of the SEC Network was among the others in the football world that reacted on social media once word began to spread about Kuligowski and Alabama on Monday.

Like Spears, he talked about why this is such a big move for the Tide.

Not that Bama needs it would be it’s a MASSIVE hire. He’s an amazing coach. @LetsMeetAtTheQB is one of the best in college football. That group will improve rapidly. https://t.co/8nBKxl5Qyf — Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) February 20, 2018
