I don’t care with nobody say BOB is trash

Kaden Cooper, one of Alabama’s top remaining targets, has committed to his home state Oklahoma Sooners.

Wouldn’t have been surprised either way, but Oklahoma’s staff really sold the hometown hero tag very well.

Nick Saban preaches the need for better consistency during momentum swings.

"When an 'oh shit' moment comes up in the game, you've got to be able to play the next play."

That’s incredible ..

This game tells me all I need to know about what coach needs to be fired. Our defensive players are better than Arkansas but the don’t have a problem getting to the QB.

Snellville, Georgia!!!
Lets put a beating on the Rebels, Land Sharks, Black Bears or whatever they are calling themselves today!!!!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!

Ruled out against LSU. Pretty much locks up the win for LSU and our outside chance of making the SEC Championship game.

👎👎

For wildcat or situational packages? Just to keep defenses guessing and make them work harder at film study, even if you don’t plan on using it much. Just a wrinkle or two, since we’re struggling on offense.

l know this is not Saban's best team by a long shot, but we are in a couple of eye winks of being undefeated. Lost 2 games by 4 points to 2 top ten teams.

l'm looking forward to kicking Elane's a$$ Saturday and then coming back to T-town to polish off our last 2 opponents. You can't win the Championship every year.

Need to finish off this season and finish off our recruiting class. We will be back.
We are Bama.

P/S
Saban ain't going nowhere. And l do not believe Golding is either. lf Bob leaves l think it will be of his own choosing.
ROLL DAMN TIDE

Who will where the Poppy to honor those brave men?


In Flanders Fields
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Here are three takeaways after Alabama’s 95-59 win against Liberty.

Before Alabama squares off against Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss on Saturday, we dug up a few untold stories about the coach’s quirkier moments with the Crimson Tide.

Dom Welch (lower-body injury) and Darius Miles are not in uniform for tonight's game. Oats said on Thursday Welch was "doubtful" for tonight's game. Welch has a walking boot on his right foot while Miles has one on his left foot.

Over the next few days, BamaInsider will provide a breakdown of the Alabama coaching staff. Today we continue the series with Pete Golding, who will be entering his fourth season with the Crimson Tide and third as the team’s defensive coordinator.

Click the video above for a breakdown of Golding. Below are five things to know about the defensive coordinator.
Previous breakdowns: Nick Saban | Bill O’Brien

His defense last year ranked first in the SEC​

Alabama’s defense wasn’t perfect last season, and there were a few times when Nick Saban made that abundantly clear to Golding on the sideline. Although, outside of a pair of breakdowns against Ole Miss and Florida, the Crimson Tide’s defense was solid — at least by today’s standards.

Even after giving up more than 40 points on two occasions, Alabama led the SEC and ranked No. 13 in the nation, allowing just 19.4 points per game. The Tide also ranked third in the conference and No. 32 nationally in total defense, giving up 352.2 yards per game. That’s not too bad considering Alabama faced six offenses that ranked in the top 40 nationally, including three that ranked in the top 10.

This year’s Alabama defense figures to be even stronger as the Tide returns all but three starters from last year’s unit.

He borrowed a sports coat for his job interview with Alabama​

Golding came to Alabama after serving as the defensive coordinator at UTSA from 2016-17. As the story goes, the up-and-coming assistant landed the job after acing his interview with Saban, impressing the head coach with his ability to break down defenses on the whiteboard.

Football knowledge has never been a problem for Golding, who grew up as the son of a coach. However, he did receive a bit of an assist in setting a good impression with Saban. According to an article from The Athletic, Golding had to borrow a sports coat from then UTSA safeties coach Patrick Toney for his interview with Alabama.

Golding was hired as the Tide’s co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach in 2018 before being promoted to defensive coordinator the following year. While he landed the job based on his football acumen, he still owes Toney a bit of thanks for making sure he had the right attire on his big day.

He led UTSA to its first-ever bowl game​

Golding joined UTSA as its defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach in 2016, inheriting a defense that ranked No. 101 in the nation, allowing 444.1 yards per game the year before. He made an instant impact during his first season, slashing that average to 392 yards allowed per game while helping the Roadrunners to six wins and their first-ever bowl appearance.

Golding's defense that year set several single-season school records, including tackles (934), tackles for loss (77), sacks (27) and quarterback hurries (38). UTSA linebacker Josiah Tauaefa earned Conference USA Freshman of the Year, setting the school’s single-season record for tackles with 115.

The following year, Golding’s UTSA defense ranked fifth in the nation, allowing just 287.8 yards per game. The Roadrunners went 6-5 that season.

He’s generated interest from several top programs during his time at Alabama​

While Golding hasn’t been Alabama fans’ favorite assistant over the years that hasn’t stopped him from being coveted by several top programs. According to a report from InsideTexas.com, Golding was one of the “prime candidates'' considered for the defensive coordinator position at Texas this offseason.

Golding also generated plenty of interest following his first season at Alabama as he reportedly turned down offers to become the defensive coordinator at both Ole Miss and Oklahoma. Alabama recently gave Golding a $275,000 raise, bumping his annual salary to $1.5 million. The defensive coordinator is signed through Feb. 29, 2024.

He was a standout defensive back in college​

Before his coaching career, Golding was the star of Delta State’s defense where he started at safety from 2002-05. He piled up 285 career tackles to rank third in school history while recording nine career interceptions to finish fourth on the school’s all-time list.

Golding earned All-Gulf South Conference honors as a junior in 2004, leading the team with 85 tackles along with two interceptions and eight pass break-ups. He followed that up by recording 81 tackles with five tackles-for-loss, two interceptions and two forced fumbles as a senior.

I’ve been wondering why our defense is so awful and know we need a different scheme, but I’m not knowledgeable enough to know what needs to change. The CF Nerds break it down so clearly with a few defensive plays against LSU. CNS needs to make some changes and Golding is one of them if these are his brilliant ideas.

on this site. thank you.

Good win by the men over Liberty. 95-59 we doubled them in rebounds. Shot nearly 46% from three and 81% from the stripe. Not too bad over a team supposed to win their conference.
