Alabama defensive coordinator Pete Golding has been the center of a decent amount of criticism over his two years at the helm of the Crimson Tide defense, which may lead to him being on the move.
Not too many assistant coaches would leave a program fresh off of a national championship win, unless it is for a head coaching vacancy.
With former Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian being hired as the headcoach for the University of Texas, he has begun to assemble his staff.
The new Longhorns coaching staff looks to be ‘Crimson Tide 2.0’ without Nick Saban.
Sarkisian has recruited tight ends and special teams coach Jeff Banks and Offensive line coach Kyle Flood.
Now, could a fourth Alabama coach be on the move?
Bobby Burton of InsideTexas.com has reportedly linked Golding to Texas as a “prime candidate” for the role.
This news garners mixed reactions from Alabama fans, as many had been unhappy with his defensive play calling during his two seasons as defensive coordinator.
Inside Texas has learned that Alabama DC Pete Golding has become prime candidate for same role at Texas. Others still in the mix.
