Off the heels of being Chip Kelly’s Vice President of Player Personnel last season with the Eagles, Ed Marynowitz has found a new home at the University of Alabama. He’ll be rejoining the Alabama staff that he worked for in 2008 as the director of player personnel.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban announced Ed Marynowitz will return to Tuscaloosa as the Crimson Tide’s associate athletics director for football Wednesday, via a release from University of Alabama Athletics.
In his new role, Marynowitz will work with the Crimson Tide’s player personnel department and football operations while assisting with athletic administration.
“Ed did an outstanding job during his time with us at Alabama, and we are extremely excited to have him return to our staff,” Saban said in the release. “He brings a wealth of knowledge from both the NFL and collegiate level and will be a tremendous asset to our program.”
Marynowitz served as the Philadelphia Eagles Vice President of Player Personnel in 2015. In that role he oversaw the Eagles player personal department, ran their pro and college scouting office and handled the preparation for the NFL Draft and free agency. Marynowitz joined Philadelphia in 2012 as the team’s assistant director of pro scouting and was later elevated to assistant director of player personnel.
“This was a unique opportunity to return to The University of Alabama and one that I am very excited about,” Marynowitz said in the release. “Alabama has always been a special place for me and working for Coach Saban again was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.”
