Hearing Pete is headed out, possibly to Ole Miss. If true, please dear 8 lb 6 oz baby Jesus, who do you want? Can Saban get Jeremy cleared?

I'm hearing Jim Leonhard.

Just reading the tea leaves, it seems to me Jim Leonard might be our new DC. Very little "noise" about him since he announced he's not staying at Wisconsin. And it's a great move/fit for him and Bama.

But seriously, if Leonard comes in as DC, does he coach Safeties or ILBs? In his entire career he's been a DB coach, and we saw how well Golding did transitioning from DB coach to ILB coach.
So, do you make Leonard DC/Safeties and bring in someone else (e.g. Pruitt) to coach ILBs?

That is what I would do, but apparently Saban likes for his DCs to coach the LBs since they are the ones that call out the plays and are responsible for making sure everyone lined up correctly on defense.

Saban's DCs at Bama have all also been the ILB coach, and I think Kevin Steele was the only one who had preexisting experience as an ILB coach. Smart moved to DBs briefly when they hired James Willis, but moved back after he left.
Smart, Pruitt, and Golding all are from DB backgrounds who coached ILBs at Bama, as well as being the DC. I think it's kinda prepping them for the job and getting them out of their comfort zone.
Tosh Lupoi was a DL coach by trade and was Co-DC/OLB Coach, but most will tell you that he wasn't calling plays or being valued for his coaching knowledge.

Leonhard and Muschamp seem to have the most "steam" around the rumor mills, but another name to keep an eye on is Glenn Schumann. He is currently the co-DC/LB coach at UGA and a Bama alumn. I read somewhere that he thought he was going to get the sole DC title at UGA when Lanning went to Oregon, but then Smart promoted Muschamp to co-DC/safeties.
Not sure how much truth there is to Schumann thinking he would be the sole DC, but even if that isn't the case he could still "come home" to be the sole DC at him alma mater, and not have to worry about Muschamp (who has been good friends with Smart for a long time).

Schumann would be my #1 choice.

Would take any of those three over Golding.

Schummann father in-law recently retired from a teaching position at my CC. He lives in Hoover and I know he misses his grandchildren, just sayin.

Lane Kiffin is an excellent offensive mind, and I will forever be grateful for what he did at Alabama while he was Offensive Coordinator.
One can argue he just exceeded the sum total of his contributions to the Crimson Tide compared to when he actually worked here.

I'm hoping for Schumann or Leonard, plus Pruitt (as an Analyst).
