JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – Carson-Newman head football coach Tyler Almond has announced the hiring of Carson-Newman's new A-Backs coach Steadman Bell.
Bell replaces Mike Patrick, who left with Ashley Ingram for a similar position at VMI.
"Steadman Bell was a no brain higher for us," Almond said. "His experience as a Tennessee high school head coach is impressive. He's very knowledgeable of our recruiting footprint and he'll bring a level of energy and intensity to the A-back room."
Bell returns to the college game for the first time in a decade – he was an assistant coach at Vanderbilt in 2016.
He spent the last three years as the head coach at Clarksville Academy.
That followed a successful run as an assistant football coach for Nashville Christian School. While at NCS, he saw two state championship games and went to the semifinals of the playoff four times. Prior to coaching at NCS, Bell was part of the coaching staff at Dickson County High School, his high school alma mater.
Bell graduated from Langston University with a BS in Health Physical Education, Recreation Wellness. He was a wide receiver and long snapper for the Lions.
