After 18 Years, Former Alabama Head Coach Mike Shula Is Back In The SEC

South Carolina offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains revealed Wednesday that former Alabama coach Mike Shula has joined the Gamecocks' staff as an analyst.

Shula was the head coach of the Crimson Tide from 2003-2006 and compiled a 26-23 record in Tuscaloosa. He has coached in the NFL since 2007. Per On3:

Since parting ways with Alabama, Shula has been the quarterbacks coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, and Denver Broncos. He was also an offensive coordinator for Carolina and New York. Most recently, he was an offensive analyst for the Buffalo Bills before taking the analyst job at South Carolina.

During that time, he coached quarterbacks like Cam Newton, Eli Manning, and Josh Allen. That experience at the quarterback position, in particular, is expected to go a long way for a South Carolina team that is transitioning out of the Spencer Rattler era.

In his new role with South Carolina, Mike Shula is going to be helping Dowell Loggains run the Gamecocks’ offense. It’s his first season with the program after previously being the tight ends coach at Arkansas. He also has experience as an NFL offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
