Report: WVU Has Another Assistant Coach Opening To Fill Al Pogue

West Virginia football coach Neal Brown reportedly has another assistant coaching opening on his staff, as the now-former WVU outside linebacker coach Al Pogue is taking at position at Auburn, according to media reports out of the state of Alabama.

A native of Mobile, Alabama, Pogue had lived his entire life in Alabama prior to accompanying Brown from Troy to West Virginia last year.

Pogue went to college at Alabama State (1992-98), and then got into coaching, spending 13 years in the high school ranks in the Montgomery, Alabama, area.

In 2011 he was hired as an offensive quality control coach at Auburn, and stayed there for three years before being hired at Troy in 2014. He was the Trojans cornerback coach and recruiting coordinator.

He coached the spear safeties and will linebackers this past year for the Mountaineers.

His stay at WVU has not lasted long, as according to Auburnsports.com, Pogue is returning to Auburn.

Tiger coach Gus Malzahn has not officially announced the hiring yet, but Pogue will apparently become Auburns defensive backs coach. AUs former DB coach, Marcus Woodson, recently left to join the staff at Florida State. Woodson spent two seasons (2016-17) working at Memphis under recently-hired Seminole coach Mike Norvell.

Brown has had to replace two other assistant coaches Xavier Dye (receivers) and Blake Seiler (inside linebackers) this offseason. Gerad Parker and Jeff Koonz have since been hired to replace each, respectively.

Now WVUs head coach has another assistant coach to hire.
