Alabama is expected to hire Adrian Klemm as offensive line coach, per CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

A five-year NFL veteran as a player, Klemm finds himself as the new offensive line coach for the Crimson Tide following one season at USC. Klemm was a defensive analyst for the Trojans last season, but the long-time assistant has offensive line coaching experience at a multitude of different programs, including at the professional level.

Those stops included most recently the New England Patriots in 2023, as well as Oregon in 2022 and the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2019-21.

A three-time Super Bowl champion as a player, Klemm could instantly play a key role on the Tide’s coaching staff in 2026 as the offensive line continues to improve both on-and-off the field.

Alabama’s offensive line struggled throughout the 2025 campaign. The Tide were unable to establish a consistent run game at any point last season, as the offensive line will have a completely different look in 2026 following the departure of various starters from last year.

Alabama has made a multitude of changes to both the roster and coaching staff in recent weeks, as Klemm officially finds himself as the Crimson Tide’s new offensive line coach.
