It seems like when Saban loses assistants they are either offered a better job someplace else or, as in the case of "yeah yeah yeah yeah", it's a lateral move. He rarely fires people. Does this sound accurate?
I've always wondered about the hiring of Golding to be our DC. A no-name guy from a small school, and a very young, inexperienced guy at that. I still don't understand the hire. It was a risk that has not payed off. Sometimes bosses will keep low performers around because of external issues, behind the scenes stuff, political considerations. Sometimes they do it because said low performer has dirt on somebody and they judge it more harmful to fire the person and let a particular secret out than to keep them around-- blackmail. Could any of these factors help explain PG's retention on Bama's staff? I'm not implying that Saban is being blackmailed but I would not be surprises if there is a non-football motive for keeping Golding.
