According to Chase Goodbread and Tommy Deas of the Tuscaloosa News, current St. Louis Rams running backs coach Sylvester Croom is a candidate for the vacancy opened when wide receivers coach Curt Cignetti left for the head-coaching job at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The News reports that Croom, who was born in Tuscaloosa and played for Bear Bryant in the early seventies, could interview for a job with the Tide as early as this weekend. "I will not comment on that," Croom said when contacted by the paper. In 2004, Croom became the first black head coach in SEC history when he took over the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Croom resigned in 2008 following his fifth season at the school and left with a career record of 21-38.
The 56-year-old coach has been with the Rams the past two seasons.
