Oregon State made a bold move by hiring JaMarcus Shephard as its 33rd head coach. They just fired Trent Bray after an ugly 0-7 start. The best thing is that Shepherd checks every box.

Alabama co-OC and assistant head coach, plus a wideout room in Tuscaloosa featuring a freshman All-American in Ryan Williams and a breakout year from Germie Bernard. Before that, Shephard helped turn Washington’s passing game into one of the nation’s most dangerous under Kalen DeBoer. Soon, the internet will flood with contract details and big-picture visions. But let’s dive into the story of the woman who supported the Beavers’ next head coach all along.

People know Hallie Shephard as JaMarcus’s wife. They even have two kids, a son named Alan, and a daughter named Jaylan.

Who is Hallie Shephard?

The spotlight often shines on JaMarcus Shephard’s coaching journey, but quietly alongside him is his wife, Hallie Shephard. There isn’t much information on the missus, but it’s not a new thing to say that Hallie has been a staunch supporter of JaMarcus in his coaching journey. There is a fun intuition story about this couple. Everyone knows how JaMarcus was under Kalen DeBoer in Washington.

And after Nick Saban retired from Alabama football, AD Greg Byrne tried to keep Kalen DeBoer’s news as much under wraps as he could. But the Shephard’s already knew about the shift. “As soon as we heard the news that Nick Saban was retiring, my wife said, ‘Kalen DeBoer’s going to be the head coach at Alabama’. My wife said that right away,” Shephard said. “She said I think they’re going to hire Kalen.”

DeBoer picked Shephard early on as one of his first hires while putting together his coaching staff in Tuscaloosa.
