Alabama Adds Former Michigan Coach to Staff Ahead of Rose Bowl

Alabama has reportedly hired former Michigan linebackers coach George Helow ahead of their College Football Playoff Semifinal matchup against Michigan. Helow previously served as a defensive intern for Alabama in 2012 and has since had coaching positions at various schools. He will join Alabama's coaching staff as special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach, replacing Coleman Hutzler, who is leaving to become the defensive coordinator at Mississippi State. Helow will have just over two weeks to share his knowledge of Michigan's defensive schemes before the game on January 1st.
