ESPN SEC football personality, Paul Finebaum said he feels Alabama football had to move on from Pete Golding to shake things up on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning Monday.
Golding was Alabama’s defensive coordinator from 2019 to 2022 before recently accepting the defensive coordinator job at Ole Miss. The Crimson Tide’s defense was consistently ranked among the top half of the FBS under Golding, but it lacked the dominance Alabama defenses displayed in the past. Finebaum said he feels Alabama had to make the move.
“It is a necessary move and I know the defenders of Pete Golding , which right now, pretty well consist of only his father, would argue the numbers weren’t all that bad and the record wasn’t all that bad, which is correct, however sometimes, you just have to shake things up,” said Finebaum.
