Neil Callaway is the current head football coach for the UAB Blazers, the third coach in the program's history.
Callaway, a 1974 graduate of Central High School in Macon, Georgia, played collegiately at the University of Alabama for legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant as a lineman and linebacker. He then coached on Pat Dye's staff at East Carolina University and the University of Wyoming before following Dye to Auburn University. In twelve years with Auburn, the team won a share of four Southeastern Conference titles and Callaway coached four All-Americans.
In 1993, Callaway became offensive coordinator at the University of Houston, where the team won a Conference USA title, before returning to his alma mater as offensive line coach in 1997 and coordinator from 1998-2000. In 2001, he joined Mark Richt's staff at the University of Georgia as line coach and coordinator, where the team won three SEC division titles and two conference championships in six years there.
