Former UAB Blazers head coach Neil Callaway has been hired by the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. He will serve as the team’s offensive line coach.
Callaway will work with first-year head coach Bobby Petrino. He had spent the last five seasons as the Blazers head coach, where he went 18-42.
“I am really excited to add Neil Callaway to our coaching staff, especially given his impressive track record developing offensive linemen throughout his career,” Petrino said in a WKU release. “Neil will do an excellent job of working with and developing our student-athletes here at WKU. He has great experience at the highest level of college football, and it is always a benefit to add someone that has head coaching experience. I know that Neil will hit the ground running, and I am excited to see him get to work with our student-athletes.”
