Alabama defensive coordinator Pete Golding joins Ole Miss

Pete Golding is leaving his job as Alabama defensive coordinator for the same position at Ole Miss.

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin announced the hire on Saturday, saying the program is excited to add him to the staff.

"At multiple stops in his career, coach Golding has directed some of college football's top defenses," Kiffin said. "He is also an outstanding recruiter and understands the level of talent necessary to compete at the highest level. I think this continues to show our commitment to taking Ole Miss football to the next level.''

Golding, 38, had been at Alabama under Nick Saban since 2018 and served as the Crimson Tide's defensive coordinator for the past four seasons.
