Former LSU, Saints DL Karl Dunbar may leave Alabama for Steelers

Alabama assistant coach Karl Dunbar is “in discussions with the Steelers” to be their defensive line coach, reports Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News.

The former All-SEC defensive lineman at LSU was an eighth round pick of the Steelers in the 1990 NFL Draft. He played one year with the Saints.

A native of Opelousas, Dunbar served at LSU as a strength and conditioning coach from 2000-01 and later as defensive line coach in 2005.

The 50-year old Dunbar has coached in the NFL with the Bears, Vikings, Jets and Bills.
