I don't know how much of our coverage design last year was influenced by Sean Desai rather than Karl Scott, but it sounds like Carroll liked the ideas that Scott was adding to the mix.Carroll did say last week that the Seahawks were hiring another coach to work with the secondary, but noted that it would not be a direct replacement for Desai. Carroll also said that defensive passing game coordinator Karl Scott, who adds the title senior assistant in 2023, will take on a bigger role with Desai gone.
The following video is a long watch but very interesting if you want to see how Karl Scott was implementing coverages at Alabama. Dense with terminology but he explains most of it and there will likely be a lot of these concepts in our back end this season.
