Recently-hired assistant Jay Graham is parting ways with Alabama

Jay Graham is parting ways with Alabama less than two months after being hired as its special teams coordinator and tight ends coach. The university confirmed Wednesday morning that Graham resigned from his position effective immediately.

Graham, a former Tennessee running back, spent last season coaching running backs for his alma mater. Before that, he coached running backs and special teams at Texas A&M from 2018-19 after serving in the same role for Florida State from 2013-17.

Reasons behind Graham's departure were not released. However, a source close to the program told BamaInsider that head coach Nick Saban reached out in an attempt to convince Graham to reconsider and was unsuccessful.

Tennessee let go of Jeremy Pruitt back in mid-January after an investigation eventually concluded the conduct of at least two assistant coaches and several recruiting staff members were likely to lead to an NCAA finding of Level I and/or Level II violations.

At this point, it is unclear if Graham’s departure at Alabama has anything to do with the investigation’s findings at Tennessee.
