OC and DC replacement discussion

[BamaMoon]

I don't know if you have PTSD or what when it comes to BOB... I feel for you my brother, but he's not coming back. BOB is 1000 percent gone. I feel like I tell you this every week. BOB doesn't want to come back. Saban wants to go back to physical football. Patriots wants him back. now that NSD is over, I expect Saban to continue to focus on the game until 31st but expect to make hiring at OC sometime in Jan...Technically, Playoff starts Saturday January 14. I expect BOB to go to Patriots around that week.

As for DC,
I don't mind if he stays on 1 condition that Saban hires someone to help Golding with playcalling. Pruitt would be perfect for that. Together they can do some serious damage on the field.

A little louder for those in the back!

 

[Lucky Jack]

I still maintain that neither are gone if no one else hires them.

BoB's contract is up at the end of the season!!! No one has to "hire him away." He only comes back IF Saban wants him back.

This has gotten ridiculous.

 

[Saban4Ever]

Unfortunately, I am in total agreement with Padre's post. Sadly this would be the perfect opportunity to move on without Golding, but I just cannot see CNS terminating him.

Since Saban seems to like Golding and he is a very good recruiter/players seem to love him... then pay Golding the same and let him do something else other than be DC/ILB coach, but still let him be able to recruit.

Usually doesn’t work quite like that. Golding would regard it as a demotion which leads to a hurt ego. Even if he agree and stayed it’s hard to make it work. Best to cut the cord and move on.

 

[Cruloc]

I don't think Golding is going anywhere. So we'd better get a very good OC to compensate for our defensive ineptitudes.

I hope both "decide to take other jobs." I hope for DC Schuman or Leonhard . I hope OC will be Brian Johnson or Garret Riley.

Could Pruitt be hired for an on the field role? I mean with what happened at Tennessee.

If auburn can hire freeze with all his transgressions I don't understand why we can't hire Pruitt if Saban wants him. I know, I want him!

I want it too, I just didn't know what the circumstances of it would be.

 

[24and7]

Will Healy for OC
Geoff Collins for DC
Doyle for S&C

Most Definitely a new strength and conditioning coach for both offensive and defensive line strength and development

 

[GrayTide]

Since Golding's pre-Alabama experience was coaching the secondary and we have just lost Charles Kelly who coached the safeties; move Golding to coaching the safeties and hire a top tier inside linebacker coach. Just a thought.

correct...Golding was known for developing secondary players... I can't understand why Saban put him in a fish out of water position.... but of course Pruitt was known for secondary as well until he took over Florida State Defense

Brian Johnson ACDC?

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Brian Johnson ACDC?

Maybe we could get James Hetfield as DC or Robert Plant as am assistat coach?

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Brian Johnson ACDC?

Thunderstruck!

 

[AlexanderFan]

Well we need a Tight end special teams coach as well now, he’s going to North Texas

 

[bamaga]

I wouldn't put too much stock into that. BOB is expected to continue to do his job until he is no longer under contract and recruiting is a part of it.

I know this was from a couple of weeks ago, but to further that argument, Nick Saban gave a Miami state of the team address a couple of days before it was announced he was leaving for Alabama . He would expect no less of his assistants.

 

[bamaga]

I hear the earth is flat and there is no space, doesn't mean it is true.

Kyrie Irving, is that you?

 

[bamaga]

I guess if Golding is not let go our base defense next year will be 0-0-11

We do have Jaheim Oatis and James Smith to back him, so probably a 1-0-10 with Russaw, Dallas Turner , and Keeley turned into safeties.
