BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Trent Dilfer will remain as UAB's coach for a third season after two straight losing records. Blazers athletic director Mark Ingram said that the school is retaining Dilfer for 2025, days after the team completed a 3-9 season that included a 71-20 loss to Tulane and a 53-18 loss to Memphis. The Super Bowl-winning former NFL quarterback is 7-17 through two seasons with five American Athletic Conference wins. Ingram said the program would "make operational and staff changes, as well as additional investments."
