From an Ole Miss board {paraphrasing} “Clearly PG is one of the best defensive minds/coordinators in the conference. He’s a slam dunk hire.”
OC and DC replacement discussion

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I don’t think PG is trash but this is kind of how it could be taken.
I'd rather have a former defensive coach as head coach like Saban, Kirby or
Shumann. These new offensive coaches like Riley and Kiffin don't care
about defense.

The thing with Armstrong....his defenses at Southern Miss played with attitude. They got after teams. Aggressive and mean.
That alone is a good sign.

He coached DBs in the past, and played safety for 10 years in the NFL. So I’m guessing he’d coach safeties in addition to DC responsibilities.
But that’s a guess — Given that Saban himself spends time with the DBs, he might have other ideas.
And all that assumes Leonhard is the next DC. The coming days will be interesting.
We don't have to figure out how all of this will impact Bama when CNS retires...but some of you have healthy imaginations! 
Seems as though AA is the "next" PG in that CNS has identified a young defensive coach that he believes has a great future.
Concerning Schuman, I know he's got Alabama connections, but is he a better option than Leonard or Pruit? Or, is he just "hot" because he's connected to Georgia's defense, the latest talk of the town?

Understatement of the decade....LOL!We don't have to figure out how all of this will impact Bama when CNS retires...but some of you have healthy imaginations!
I have an update and again TIFWIW. My friend's source is now saying we may end up hiring Schuman from UGA as DC and Pruitt as an analyst (said Pruitt is still too toxic for DC). He said Saban is deciding between Leeby and Mullen for the OC position. Lost some credibility with the backtracking on Pruitt so I will leave it as this until they make official hires.
out of all of them I would hope Leonhard is the guy, and it’s because he is the least likely to jump after one year if things go very well.
Schumann would be #2 choice because it pulls a resource away from Georgia and upgrades our situation.
I continue to say "NO" to Mullen but much of that is based on his failures as a HC. I know he was a good OC at UF under Meyer, but beyond that and Tebow's jump pass I really don't remember that much about his offensive characteristics. Seems to be a good QB coach (although I think Dak Prescott is one of the most overhyped QBs in the NFL). So what's the draw with DM?
That’s right. We don’t want any buyer’s remorse.
Provide the link that Saban offered him $2 million to stay. Second, both coordinators needed to go. If you can't see that the defense never made any improvement from goldings first year to this year, despite the talent, you are willingly ignorant of the fact that PG was not a good DC.
Oh, silly Ole Miss, so starve for any kind of decent DC that they delude themselves into thinking PG is a heck of a DC. They will see soon enough what kind of DC he is.
We won a national title because of Mac, Najee, Smitty and Metchie scoring 50 pts a game.
Just saw this article a minute ago and thought I would post it. ESPN’s Pete Thamel is reporting that Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide are set to hire Southern Miss defensive coordinator Austin Armstrong to its coaching staff. © Provided by Roll Tide Wire.
