IIRC, when a show cause has been handed down in the past it prohibited the coach from having another HC position for a certain number of years (IOW, they could still be an asst).

As capricious as the NCAA is, there's no telling - but I suspect Bryne, Sankey, etc. have already vetted this if he's the target.
Ah gotcha. I must admit I know little about what a show cause actually means for a coach and haven’t bothered researching it at all. I did think it would prevent him from recruiting as well but again I’m only regurgitating something I’ve probably randomly heard.

$6 mil over 3 years. Not bad
It's a win/win...his time was up here.The writing was on the wall...he'd gotten himself in some off-field trouble that only piled on what the fans already wanted...

Now he gets a fresh start with a cat that will give him full control of the defense that he wants to run..and be careful, it may be pretty good...

Plus, the whole happy wife gig...she's home and happy and he is now a king on the streets whereas he was getting stoned here...

...and we get a new DC!!!

I really think Golding will do well. I've said that several time. he get a chance to run his own defense. We will find out this fall when Ole miss and Alabama plays and we'll see the difference between his own defense and Saban's defense. I suspect we will be saying, "where was that defense when he was at alabama!"
He may very well do fine, and I wish him well...............but it kinda begs the question that if he was the savant he was lauded to be, shouldn't he have been able to adapt his system to Saban's and run it? Why wasn't he able to make the adjustments necessary during a game? It always seemed weird to me that he couldn't do these things but was regarded as a great defensive mind

Alabama did way more for Pete than Pete did for Alabama. I hope he is successful at Ole Miss, but I don’t look for him to all the sudden become great. He will have a harder row to hoe there. He just doesn’t have a knack for calling defense. To “ take the money and run” was wise for him.

I’d bet my bottom dollar Saban expected him to be better than he is, at this point in time. Saban couldn’t stop raving about how smart he was; he counted on him be able to convey some of that to the players. We know from his recruiting he obviously relates well on a personal level; just as obviously he couldn’t do that well at the performance level.
He’s young and will probably be a very good DC someday, but if he suddenly becomes the best DC on the planet at UM in a couple of years, he will be hated forever by this Bama fan.
This right there. I have someone at work who while may not be my supervisor is technically my superior. The guy can tell you the rules of the store and every type of product we have, he can get the product real fast on the shelf. He knows the codes to weigh up whatever product (meats and seafood) just from memory. But he just does not have the skills to be a manager. He has no patience; he expects you to understand something complex after he tells you it one time and he rubs a lot of people the wrong way. Its mind boggling that someone who clearly has a lot of talents in his field and intelligence is so Bad at actually training people and communicating what he wants out of us. Now PG probably is more well liked amongst his peers than my guy, but the idea is the same. I don't think PG made it as far as he did by being an idiot. I just don't think he has the skillset to be a Defensive coordinator or at least one in Nick Sabans system.
