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.
