Alabama announces changes to ‘Hey Coach,' addition of Damien Harris to broadcast team

Like changes coming to Alabama football this fall with new coach Kalen DeBoer, changes alike will be brought to the Crimson Tide Sports Network (CTSN). Those changes will be brought to CTSN's "Hey Coach" show and its radio crew, UA officials announced on Thursday.

The "Hey Coach" show will now run on Wednesdays under DeBoer, whereas it previously ran on Thursdays under coach Nick Saban. The show will be aired 6-7:30 p.m. CT featuring DeBoer, a student-athlete and host Chris Stewart. It will still air live from Baumhower’s Victory Grille. The first show this year will air Aug. 14, with DeBoer making his first appearance Aug. 28.

Within the radio crew, former Alabama running back Damien Harris will be taking over sideline duties this fall, joining Stewart (play-by-play) and Tyler Watts (color). Harris is set to replace Christian Miller.
