I think we’ve got our head in the sand again. Last year it was the back end. This year it’s the front end that’s struggling. Yes some of it is because of injury but I can’t help but think that a coordinator as good as Pruitt is, he could mask some of these deficiencies with scheme.

Honestly, the front end wasn't that good besides Quinnen last season. In my opinion the defense looks pretty much the same except the secondary is vastly improved. Last year the LBers were experienced and all around better football players than the two freshman playing now and they looked lost. Now, the two freshman look lost especially Harris more so than Lee. This is on Golden and not because of youth. We've all seen at least 10 games now where Golden is running the defense. That's a large enough body of work to call Golding's tenure at Alabama thus far a failure.

I bet you were one of the biggest complainers when his D gave up 35 to Clemson, including 4 TDs in the last 6 possessions to lose a NC. Or gave 43 to OM earlier in the year. Both of those efforts with one of the greatest D's in history. Or how about 23 to Col State with a NC team with many vets on D. IMO, Pruitt is the best DC CNS has had but no one is perfect and everything is not the DC's fault. Golding's aggressive tendencies are being muted by CNS - IMO, for good reason at this moment.
