Alabama football and Nick Saban have suffered yet another blow with the departure of WR coach Holmon Wiggins.

Holmon Wiggins, Alabama football’s wide receivers coach, is leaving the program.

On Monday, the Alabama football team competed in one of the best College Football Playoff semifinal games in CFP history, but the Crimson Tide were defeated.Alabama led 20-13 late in the game, but a late score by the Michigan football team sent the game into overtime, where the Wolverines won the national championship.Sadly for Alabama, the awful week did not end there.

Alabama football’s season is ended after losing in the Rose Bowl, and just one day later, wide receiver coach Holmon Wiggins departed the Crimson Tide for Texas A&M football, according to Billy Liucci.The Aggies recently hired Mike Elko as their new head coach, and this is a home run hire for him because he snatched Nick Saban’s WR coach from Alabama.

“BREAKING: A&M coaching staff with a head-turning hire, as WR coach @HolmonWiggins makes the move from Tuscaloosa to Aggieland,” Billy Liucci tweeted in response to the news. “Since the 2019 season, Wiggins has been working under Nick Saban. The Maroon & White has made a big hire.”

This is a major hire for Texas A&M, and it’s a terrible blow for Alabama, who had their season end in heartbreaking fashion the day before.

This is an intriguing move by Wiggins. He’s been with the Crimson Tide for a few years, and they’re known for having great wide receivers and competing for national championships. It would be one thing if he were leaving for another job, but he will also be the WR coach at Texas A&M.In recent years, the Aggies have acquired a lot of talent, but they haven’t done much with it. Mike Elko faces an uphill battle at College Station, which is why Wiggins’ decision is surprising.

Alabama and Texas A&M are both SEC schools, but none is set to play next season. It will be intriguing to see how Wiggins performs when he finally faces his former team.
