The new Husky linebackers leader is watching his career begin to take off.
With the skepticism initially expressed by some people over the hiring of Kalen DeBoer as Alabama football coach -- like who is this guy and what's he ever really done to deserve this papal position? -- imagine the questions asked the year before when Robert Bala was named Crimson Tide linebackers coach.
As we look at the new Husky coaching staff heading into fall camp, Bala, 37, was one of the few who didn't come with Jedd Fisch in the caravan from Arizona. He will replace William Inge, 50, who got a lot accomplished in his two seasons as the UW linebackers coach while doubling as a co-defensive coordinator.
"I just thought the opportunity here at Washington was something I couldn't pass up," Bala said. "Being a defensive coordinator is a goal of mine. I felt working with this staff, and working with this program, was something I need to be a part of."
