However, he stayed in Seattle as coach in waiting. Remember this name? Saban once tried to hire Lake when he was defensive coordinator at Washington. Jimmy Lake - Former Washington head coach I should stop the article here, but Saban is an unpredictable guy. And taking a guy back from Kirby would be so satisfying. Perhaps it was Schumann all along who was deserved the credit? When Lanning got the Oregon job, UGA did not miss a beat. Those two built the best defenses in the nation. After a couple years as inside linebacker coach, he was promoted to co-defensive coordinator along with another former Bama staffer Dan Lanning (also pilfered). However when Kirby Smart made his classless exit from Tuscaloosa while photographing the recruiting board, he also stole a few Bama rising star staff members including Schumann. He would become a graduate assistant and then director of football operations. He is an Alabama graduate who was a student assistant during his undergraduate years. Does he still have the fire? Glenn Schumann - Georgia co-defensive coordinatorįrom these eyeballs, Schumann is the best candidate for so many reasons. One other thing to consider: Pruitt has taken many a lumps these past couple of years. It would not be a big issue if Alabama had to fire him from that spot. If I was a betting man, I would not think that he becomes Alabama’s next DC but a position as analyst is possible.

Much like Bill O’Brien’s departure, Golding’s job change did not come as a surprise. The defenses were good, but just not good enough. Gone were the takeaways and non-offensive scores. Saban basically plucked him out of obscurity and molded in him into what he thought a defensive coordinator should be. Pete Golding had an interesting tenure at Alabama. That is less than some programs have had in head coaches in that same time span. Today, it’s the other side of the ball.ĭespite the ugly picture that detractors are trying to paint of a revolving door at defensive coordinator, Alabama has only had five different coordinators in Nick Saban’s 16 seasons at the Capstone. On Tuesday, RBR had a lively discussion about potential offensive coordinator candidates. In 2023, Nick Saban faces the unenviable task of replacing both of his coordinators.
