Yeah, someone that the pay sites don't know about. No one brought up Terry Joseph until he was hired and no one reported the Lanning interview till Sexton leaked it.
 
I believe we should hear by tomorrow unless Sark is waiting to see about hiring Pruitt. It could also mean that Pruitt would go back to Alabama and we hire Golding.
 
 
I'm prepared that it may be a name that hasn't come up. I just hope it's not Mike Stoops.

I don't think Golding is a candidate. Plus, he's employed.

@83Dee

Help me out here, what was his name? Was it Tosh? Ansley?

1. Arnett

2. Johnny Nansen

3. Ansley/Tosh combo

Up in the air:

1. Muschamp

2. Pruitt

Out

1. Lanning

Any other names?

Ok, maybe I'm just biased, but there are only two names on that list that i think are better than Ash (Pruitt and Muschamp).  I thought Ash had the defense starting to come around and really loved his approach.  I think another year or 2 with him and the defense would be special.  I think Ash would've been better than Arnett.  Like I said, i'm probably just bias.  

I know there is a report that Muschamp turned the Horns down, but doesn't it just feel like UT is waiting things out on his buyout (same in waiting on Pruitt)?  I still think that all these moves for D assistants has the approval of someone that is an unannounced DC.  Has to be.

Don't underestimate this possibility.

Lupoi?

Is supposed to be a recruiting extraordinaire... but Saban stripped him of play calling duties... unless I have my names confused.  Currently DL coach for Falcons...

I want the guy that can best stop or slow down Lincoln Riley whomever that is. I also want Lupoi as co-DC for his recruiting. I've read that he has to have play calling duties and I've also seen that as long as he's a co-DC.

 
OB is saying that BamaInsider.com is reporting that Sark has made a substantial financial offer to Golding and that Saban is countering hard.

Tosh is a terrible DC and playcaller. He apparently does not understand advanced secondary schemes and strategy very well. We would give up 100 points if Tosh went against Riley.

I didn't make myself clear. I want a DC that can slow down Riley and Lupoi as co-DC without playcalling duties. I posted this yesterday.

After some early struggles during the season, Saban stripped Lupoi of defensive play-calling responsibilities and handed them over to co-defensive coordinator Pete Golding, according to sources. Saban had poached Golding from UT-San Antonio in the offseason in part to alleviate concerns about Lupoi’s inexperience with the secondary and as a play-caller. Still, word is Lupoi seemed overwhelmed during practices and didn’t totally grasp situational play-calling. While he was still heavily involved in the defensive game-planning, there was no question Golding taking over play-calling represented a demotion of sorts for Lupoi barely into the start of his defensive coordinator stint. Additionally, it was clear within the program how much Saban valued Golding, especially given he fended off other schools including Ole Miss in order to keep Golding at Alabama. It gave Lupoi reason enough to look for a soft landing place once Alabama’s season ended.
