Here’s the latest I could gather about the Birmingham Stallions’ coach environment.
- AJ McCarron was reported to be named head coach of the Birmingham Stallions in December 2025, succeeding Skip Holtz who stepped away from the role. This signals a transition to a high-profile former quarterback in the coaching chair, aligned with renewed leadership for the 2026 season.[1][2]
- Prior to that, Skip Holtz remained the Stallions’ head coach through 2024 and into early 2025, with organizational leadership focusing on stability and continuity as the team prepared for the 2025 season. News coverage from that period highlighted Holtz’s ongoing role and the coaching staff’s expansion approach.[3][4]
- Multiple outlets and videos from late 2025 into 2026 discuss the coaching change and its implications for Birmingham’s strategy, including transitions around new staff hires and expectations for performance in the next season.[5][6][7]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to the most current status for 2026 (e.g., who remains as head coach, key assistants, or recent public statements). I can also pull more precise sources or summarize any specific outlet’s reporting.
