Golding was clearly having off the field issues and his unit looked underprepared to play many weeks. The sheer lack of discipline


Agreed. But, that’s where the age thing starts to be a factor. The younger Saban would have fired him at halftime in Knoxville and told him to Uber home.

Allegedly, he "fired" Applewhite after the Mississippi State game in 2007 but he stayed on the staff but lost playcalling duties. He became just the QB coach and Pendry (OL Coach and Asst. Head Coach) was calling the plays.

The telling thing is that Saban did not do that with Golding from any scuttlebutt I've heard around Tuscaloosa. I'm surprised that we never caught wind of Charles Kelly taking a more active role in gameplanning and playcalling. Seems like he just road out a broken arrangement to the "bitter" (such as it can be called going 11-2) end.
