Title: Is this the new DC? Post by: hscoach on December 14, 2017, 10:47:33 AM https://www.tidesports.com/what-the-hiring-of-pete-golding-means-for-the-2018-alabama-defensive-coaching-staff/
Title: Re: Is this the new DC? Post by: 2Stater on December 14, 2017, 11:04:33 AM Quote So what role with Golding serve? The complicated answer at the moment is that it’s too soon to tell. Meaning, no permanent decision has been made. However, there is one scenario that is not only plausible but also likely. First, it needs to be realized that Alabama will do everything in its power to retain current outside linebacker coach and co-defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi. Lupoi is an ace recruiter and with the departure of Jeremy Pruitt to Tennessee, Lupoi becomes the best recruiter on staff (if he wasn’t already). Lupoi has rebuffed several major Power 5 offers to be defensive coordinator, both last season and this season. He has been loyal to Saban and to Alabama. It’s really no secret that he wants to be a defensive coordinator, but it’s also not lost on him that he’s never called a defense and his understanding of the back end of the defense isn’t maybe where he’d like it to be in an ideal situation before becoming a defensive coordinator. Quote So how does Golding fit into that mix? Again, the answer is nothing has been permanently decided yet. However, it’s likely that one of the scenarios involves Golding being a co-defensive coordinator along with Lupoi. Certainly makes you wonder. If Lupoi really is a novice concerning the back end of the D, then I could see that scenario of the 2 of them being co-defensive coordinators. Would certainly give Tosh time to learn what he doesn't already know. Golding sounds like a good find. Title: Re: Is this the new DC?

So "I" am happy. RTR! Title: Re: Is this the new DC? Post by: carl childers on December 16, 2017, 08:35:31 AM Whatever happens, Lupoi needs to at least be called the DC. He is too valuable to lose.
Title: Re: Is this the new DC? Post by: Catch Prothro on December 16, 2017, 01:06:06 PM Golding sounds like a good find. I think we may have co-DCs next year. Each has their strong points -- one with the front 7 and knowledge of Saban's system, the other brings fresh blood, DC and DB coaching experience.
Title: Re: Is this the new DC? Post by: ricky023 on December 16, 2017, 01:10:10 PM I just hope we don't have coaches leave because they are disgruntled with their situation. We can another winning year. RTR!
