Crimson Tide defensive coordinator, former South Alabama head coach spoke in Mobile on Monday
Kane Wommack was back in Mobile on Monday for one his first public appearances since leaving his job as South Alabama head coach to become defensive coordinator at Alabama.
“… I miss this place in so many ways. So many great friends, great memories. It’s always hard when you pick your family up a place that was so supportive, so great to us and a place that we really call home now. So it’s great to be back and spend a little bit of time here.” “It’s fun for me specifically seeing young men from Mobile accomplish things at a really high level,” Wommack said. “I got to see Ryan as a young player and people start talking about him in this community. And then all of a sudden, you start hearing about him in the college football world and then on the national level. It was very evident when Ryan walked in the door in summer workouts that this young man has something special about him.
Speaking of Mobile-area recruits, several top high school prospects were on-hand for Wommack’s appearance Monday night, including Theodore offensive lineman Micah DeBose, Vigor edge rusher Jabarrius Garror and St. Paul’s edge rusher Anthony “Tank” Jones. DeBose and Garror are already committed to Alabama for 2025, while Jones is being heavily recruited by the Crimson Tide, Auburn, Georgia and other schools for 2026.
“… He can recognize formations, backfield sets, situational awareness so that we can play with anticipation. That’s the difference between you know, a and an interception. It’s the difference between a quarterback hurry and a sack/fumble. I think his ability to communicate to some of these younger players has made the difference over the first three games.”
“Coach Saban has been a tremendous resource to me,” Wommack said. “I didn’t realize when I took the job, how much access he would allow. He’s been really helpful for me to kind of lessen the learning curve from what they have done defensively over the last 17 years to what we’re going to do defensively. There’s similarities in those things, but also some things that have really helped for me to understand why he did things the way he did them.
