Former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer is expected to become the next head football coach at UAB, sources told ESPN’s Pete Thamel on Tuesday night.
Although a deal hasn’t been formalized, the sides are expected to come to terms in the upcoming days, sources said.
Dilfer, 50, the head coach at Lipscomb Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, is a former standout quarterback at Fresno State, who graduated to an NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baltimore Ravens, Seattle Seahawks, Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers. He won the Super Bowl with the Ravens in the 2000 season.
The Blazers finished 6-6 this season under interim coach Bryant Vincent, who is also the team’s offensive coordinator. They were among three teams in Conference USA to finish 4-4 in the league.
