re: Pruitt has told people that he will be the next DC at Alabama.

So, hypothetically, if Saban can't find Golding a landing spot, presumably you could move Golding to Co-DC/Safety (he coached DBs before coming to Bama) and Pruit to Co-DC/ILB.

Golding would be "Co-DC" in name only and Pruitt would actually be calling the plays, but I just don't recall Saban ever really embarrassing someone by demoting them (kinda similar to when Tosh and Golding were Co-DCs but Golding eventually took over calling plays).
