Nick Saban feels Pete Golding has done a good job with Alabama’s defense this season.
Golding was hired as Alabama’s defensive coordinator in 2019. He was the Crimson Tide’s defensive coordinator when Alabama won the 2020 National Championship. Golding was recently named a semi-finalist for the Broyles award, which goes to the top assistant coach in college football.
Saban said he appreciated what Golding has done for Alabama’s defense during his Wednesday press conference.
“I think Pete has done a really, really good job,” Saban said. “He’s very bright. He articulates well with the players. He’s a good teacher. I think he’s a good motivator. I think the players respond well to him and, he’s added some things that has helped us get better. I think he’s done a very good job with the personnel that we have, and I just really appreciate the really good job that he’s done. I think he’s made really positive steps every year since he’s been here. I love hiring younger guys like that and let them grow and develop in the organization.He’s certainly done a fantastic job of that.”
Alabama football’s defense is ranked No. 16 in total defense, giving up 4.46 yards a play.
