Alabama has been hemorrhaging talent within the coaching ranks as several assistants have left the program in the past few seasons. Now it looks like Nick Saban will be losing yet another assistant coach in Karl Dunbar. He is reportedly set to take a job with the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers.

It was reported earlier in the day that the deal might go down and now we know that's happened for sure.
Dunbar had been the defensive line coach at Alabama since 2016 and is most famously known for getting his playbook stolen before the National Championship Game. Dunbar has had coaching stops at Nicholls State, LSU, Oklahoma State, the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets and Buffalo Bills.
Alabama lost Brian Daboll to the NFL, Jeremy Pruitt to Tennessee, Wes Neighbors to Lane Kiffin's FAU and Derrick Ansley left for Colorado State.
