After the 2011 season, Lolley ended his duties as cornerbacks coach under head coach Gene Chizik. He has been working for the Tigers football program since being hired by Tommy Tuberville in 1999.
Personal life
Lolley graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of West Alabama in 1977 and a master’s degree in 1981. He has a son, Brad, and daughter, Brittany.
Career
Lolley started his coaching career at the prep school level, receiving his first coaching position at South Choctaw Academy in 1977 before becoming the head coach at Warrior Academy in Eutaw the following season. He continued heading the school until taking the position as defensive coordinator at Demopolis High School in 1982. In 1984, he was hired as head coach at Stevenson High School where he stayed until 1987. The following year, Lolley was hired by North Jackson High School, where he spent the next 10 years. The Chiefs enjoyed success under Lolley, advancing to the state playoffs every season including winning the 1993 AHSAA 4A state championship.
In 1999, Lolley was hired by new head coach Tommy Tuberville to serve as a strength and conditioning coach at Auburn University. He received his first on-the-field coaching duties with the team in 2000 when he was promoted to coach outside linebackers under John Lovett before being re-assigned to coach the defensive backs when new defensive coordinator Gene Chizik took over.
