DJ Dale: 'A lot of times when we messed up as a defense, it was because we didn’t execute and not because he didn’t put in the right call in. Him being who he is, he’ll take the blame for it.” “Coach Pete definitely got a bad rap a lot of the times.”
The four-year tenure of Pete Golding as Alabama’s sole defensive coordinator ended last month when he made a lateral move to become Ole Miss’ defensive play-caller.
“I think I heard about it, but I think it came from a lot of people who weren’t aware of what actually goes into playing football,” he said Wednesday. “I think you go on social media and there’s a million coaches, but none of them are at Alabama, so what they say really doesn’t matter to me.” Nick Saban’s defensive playbook is “complicated,” To’o To’o said, noting that NFL teams this week in Indianapolis have asked him about how well he knew it and how fast he was able to get other players aligned.
One of the benefits of playing in the NFL, To’o To’o added, will be the helmet radio that linebackers can wear to receive defensive play calls. “I didn’t really have much of a reaction,” safety Jordan Battle said Thursday. “You can’t do nothing but be excited whenever a guy comes through Alabama and leaves. That happens almost every year. I had three different cornerback coaches when I was there -- Coach [Karl] Scott, Coach [Travaris] Robinson, and Jay Valai -- guys come in and go out every year, and you can’t be nothing but excited for them.
