- Kane Wommack, former head coach of the South Alabama football team, has left for the Alabama defensive coordinator job, creating a vacancy in the South Alabama team.
- Under Wommack's leadership, South Alabama had their two best seasons since moving up to FBS in 2012, with a 10-3 record in 2022 and a 7-6 record in 2023.
- Potential candidates for the South Alabama head coach position include offensive coordinator Major Applewhite, former UAB head coach Bill Clark, LSU wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton, Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks coach Tee Martin, and Georgia running backs coach Dell McGee.
