Alabama DB Coach Takes New Position With ACC School
The Alabama Crimson Tide saw another change to its coaching staff late Wednesday night. ESPN's Pete Thamel reports that Alabama assistant cornerbacks coach Kobie Jones will be moving on from the Crimson Tide, accepting a position as the cornerbacks coach at Georgia Tech.
Jones earned two degrees from Alabama State University: his Bachelor's in 2019 and his Master's in 2021. He played college football for Alabama State and began coaching as a Graduate Assistant during his Master's program.
Jones was hired as a coach at IMG Academy in 2021, and he spent two seasons there before moving to Bradenton, Florida. In February 2022, Jones was hired as the assistant cornerback coach at the University of Alabama, earning an SEC Championship as an assistant coach in 2023.
Jones will join former Alabama offensive line coach Brent Key in Atlanta, Georgia. Key coached in Alabama from 2016 to 2018 as the offensive line coach in Tuscaloosa.
In 2022, after spending three seasons as the Assistant Head Coach, Offensive Line Coach, and Run Game Coordinator at Georgia Tech, Brent Key was named interim head coach. The interim tag was removed, and in 2023, he became the official head coach at Georgia Tech.
Alabama recently hired former Crimson Tide defensive back Jason Jones to fill the position of Assistant Defensive Backs coach. Jones played at Alabama in the late 1990s.
