From founder of Rivals and 247sports Shannon Terry:
Saban told Lance Thompson to explore his other options.
Saban has been known to point coaches toward the door when they've outlived their perceived usefulness - see Doug Nussmeier a year ago - but any suggestion that Saban nudged out Steele and Thompson because Alabama surrendered 44 points in the Iron Bowl win over Auburn and 42 points in the semifinal loss to Ohio State seems a bit of a stretch. Kirby Smart coordinates the defense, Saban oversees it and besides, the biggest problem on that side of the ball has been secondary play.
Who's been working with the defensive backs on a daily basis? Not Steele and Thompson. Smart and Saban.
A person close to the program suggested - a sign that working for Saban has become more uncomfortable than usual in the wake of the semifinal loss to Ohio State.

So Saban is hard to work for? Didn't see that one coming....

Since when is Scarbinsky close to the program and he is merely speculating. Aaron Suttles, a Bama beat reporter in Tuscaloosa, reported yesterday that Thompson was let go.
