Alabama football defensive coordinator Pete Golding was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning in Northport, according to Assistant Chief Keith Carpenter, at around 1 a.m. on a DUI charge. No further details have been released regarding the arrest.
Golding has been coaching under Nick Saban for the Capstone since 2018, receiving a promotion to defensive coordinator the following year, following Tosh Lupoi’s departure.
As a defensive coordinator, he helped coach the Tide to a national title in 2020, failing to repeat in a relatively inconsistent year defensively in 2021.
Prior to his present stint with the Crimson Tide, Golding served as defensive coordinator for UTSA from 2016-2017.
There has been no comment from university officials as of the time of this writing.
Golding still remains in the Tuscaloosa County Jail.
