Alabama assistant Sunseri in contention for Broncos position

On the heels of news that former Pitt head coach Dave Wannstedt possibly moving on to the NFL, it appears Alabama outside linebackers coach Sal Sunseri is flirting with the idea as well. Yesterday, the Denver Broncos announced that former Carolina Panthers head coach John Fox would be taking over at Mile High in the same role. As Fox begins the process of building his staff, one name that has popped up on the hiring radar is Sunseri, who spent nearly a decade with Fox both in Carolina and the University of Pittsburgh. Today, the TideSports.com is reporting that Fox has, indeed, reached out to Sunseri. However, no response has been issued by the outside linebackers coach and it’s unclear as to what role Sunseri would be taking with the Broncos if he accepts. Sunseri was previously shunned by Pittsburgh for their head coaching vacancy. The job ultimately went to Todd Graham. If Sunseri does decide to leave, it will be the second coach to depart from Alabama. D-line coach Bo Davis left for Texas and a slew of other assistants have been in coaching mixes as well.
