There should not be any disagreements about BoB and PG. Both need to be replaced, period. Whether they are fired or not is irrelevant (BoB has an expiring contract so there's no need to fire him). Saban has set a standard at Alabama and neither of our current coordinators is meeting that standard.
To make it very simple we can remind ourselves of the Tennessee game:
- Alabama gave up 567 (!) yards;
- Alabama gave up seven (7!) touchdowns;
- Alabama committed seventeen (17!) penalties;
- Alabama gave up the most points since 1907.
These are unacceptable numbers for a Saban coached team. And it's not as if our OC and DC are new on the job, need to learn, etc. They're veteran coaches. Golding has been on staff since 2018 and has been DC (officially) since February 2019. Of course, his defences have not always been as bad as against 10RC, but he's not going to all of a sudden improve. So, let's move on. BoB can go to the Pats or whatever he wants and PG needs to be relocated.

The problem is that Golding is still under contract, as he reminded us of prior to the Sugar Bowl (when asked if he expected to return):
The good part is that PG referred to his contractual situation, which is not a good sign. In my opinion you make such a referrence when you're in trouble. And he should be in trouble, for what he has produced in terms of defences.
Considering how Saban treats his staff, PG will not be fired (as was mentioned here). As I see it, the options are:
(a) Saban somehow finds PG a head coaching job somewhere.
(b) Saban creates a new position for PG, which is not a complete demotion, at least not optically (like assistent HC), and let's him take over as safeties coach (to replace Charles Kelly), thus paving the way for Jeremy Pruitt.
(c) Saban hires Pruitt as ILB coach and makes him co-defensive coordinator, but effectively let's Pruitt take over as DC (similar to the situation with Tosh Lupoi and PG in 2018, but this time the other way around).
My preferred choice involves any option that leads to Pruitt becoming DC and ILB coach.
