Alabama staffer reportedly leaving for on-field position with Dan Lanning’s Oregon staff

Alabama is coming off a national title game loss to Georgia, but the future is still bright in Tuscaloosa.

QB Bryce Young and star LB Will Anderson Jr. figure to be back in the fold next year, but now we’ll wait and see what the Tide’s coaching staff looks like.

OC Bill O’Brien is being connected to NFL jobs. Meanwhile, according to a report on Tuesday morning, analyst Jake Long is expected to head west to become the ILB coach under Dan Lanning at Oregon:

I’m told Alabama Analyst and former Tide Player Jake Long will be ILB Coach at Oregon, joining Dan Lanning’s first staff.
Great first on the field job.@oregonfootball @AlabamaFTBL #GoDucks #RollTide @NextRoundLive

Long played defensive line for the Tide during his playing days. Now, he’s reportedly making a move to get his on-field coaching career started.
