Trent Dilfer dismissed as UAB Football coach after three seasons; Alex Mortensen appointed interim head coach

Trent Dilfer has been dismissed as UAB head coach. The decision follows a disappointing three-season tenure marked by a 9-21 overall record.

Offensive coordinator Alex Mortensen has been named interim coach.
