I’m worried our defense won’t be dominant until we replace the DC.



...because the philosophy is still the same under Saban regardless of the DC.

Tosh is a 1st yr DC who lost basically the entire defense to the draft and NFL FA signings

Minkah
Payne
Evans
Harrison
Hand
Everette
SDH
Brown
Wallace


Inexperienced defense for the most part still finished top 20 in the country. While I'll agree, its not the dominant defense of old, but this is a different era in college football too.

That's a ton of talent to lose in 1 yr off 1 defense for a 1st yr guy. Im not gonna panic. Tosh has a year under his belt to learn from mistakes and make improvements.

He has to get more aggressive and get to the point he calls his own defense similar to Smart or Pruitt, but I think he can get there. I prefer the continuity of Tosh (assuming the rumors about him being heavily disliked in the building are false) over dumping him for a marginal upgrade in someone like Steele.

I wouldn't mind moving Golding to DC though and bring in a dedicated Linebackers coach.

Edit: And Boz said Tosh is gone after NSD... so maybe Golding because he does have the X's and O's?
