re: So if Alabama 'murderball' is the best way to win, why did they get away from it?

Golding wasn’t the DC for either. Hell he wasn’t even there in 2016/17. That was Pruitt.
He was co-DC in 2018/19. And no, that wasn’t all on Golding. That was on an RPO first offense that was completely figured out by Clemson.
Edit: Assumed you meant the two Clemson games.
And no, Golding wasn’t to blame in 2021/22 title game either. That was easily his best defense. Which made it more perplexing his unit was so unorganized in 2022/23.
Golding was the co-defensive coordinator in the 2018 championship when Bama only managed to score 16 points.
Golding was the sole defensive coordinator in the 2021 championship when Bama only managed to score 18 points (after scoring 41 points against the same opponent in the previous game).
Another poster said Golding's defense sometimes folded in shootouts, but it is clear some of Bama's major losses during that time weren't shootout style and their O was to blame.

The O isn't going to be there every game. Name one great offense that is going to travel every week. Defense travels, not offense. We've had OCs that frankly were better than others. This is a commitment on both sides of the LOS. And frankly, they play off each other. BAMA lost games in every era of the Nick Saban era.
Now that that foolishness is put to bed, again, let me repeat, Golding's defense was undisciplined and lacked fundamentals, and against the elite offenses, it showed itself. Otherwise, BAMA was putting so many high 4 and 5 stars on the field we were just going to destroy teams with talent. Both offense and defense. And we will continue to do that under Kevin Steele.
