Trent Dilfer's tenure as UAB's head football coach has faced scrutiny due to underwhelming performance and questionable decision-making. Despite his NFL pedigree and leadership reputation, the team has struggled to compete in Conference USA, failing to meet expectations. His lack of prior college coaching experience has shown in areas like player development, in-game adjustments, and recruiting. Dilfer's fiery sideline demeanor has occasionally overshadowed his ability to build trust with players and staff, further hindering team cohesion.

Memphis will likely face UAB later in the season in Birmingham in 2025. Full coverage of the American and Memphis live on 92.9 FM ESPN.
