UAB officially became the first job to open in the 2022-23 coaching cycle when Bill Clark stepped down back in June, citing health reasons.
Offensive coordinator Bryant Vincent stepped in as the interim head coach and led the program to a bowl game before finishing the season 7-6 while setting a number of offensive records.
To lead the Blazers into the future, UAB decision makers went with a rather unconventional hire, bringing in a successful high school head coach, and former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer.
