Why hasn't Pete Golding been fired?

Texas and USCe are firing coordinators. Probably some others. IIRC Gus fired Ellis Johnson the day after losing the IB in 2014. Why wasn't Golding fired first thing Sunday morning? Further evidence to me that Saban is completely washed up and needs to be Bobby Bowden'd.

There are rumors he's been dealing with serious personal issues. Whether those are temporary/situational or more long-term in nature, I'm not sure.

Fire the entire staff.

Makes sense to wait until after signing day

Because he isn’t getting fired. One of the reasons Alabama sucked this year is the constant changing of coaches. At some point you have to ride someone out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but has Saban ever fired an assistant? At worse, his contract won't be renewed after next year.

He was working with a serious case case of bad coaching luck this season. Lost his entire linebacker crew in the preseason and significant parts of his D-line and had to replace the whole bunch with freshmen as their was zero depth. Comparing him to Smart/Pruitt as a DC is not easy as neither ever had the same misfortune and both had tons of depth. The casual fan ignores those things and just wants retribution. His position group was a disaster, a freshman who should be playing maybe fullback in a run scheme and another frosh who was a position change. Both running around like a chicken with his head cutoff. Must have been confusing to an OC scouting the Tide to figure out just where they would be.

Almost a week later. Pete Golding is still employed.
Saban is toast.

Well maybe it has something to do with losing all his linebackers then at some point all his 3 man defensive line. And having zero depth so they were 100% replaced with freshmen. That worked against Arkansas and State but not so well against LSU and AU. Aside from that his freshman D held AU to 32 points I believe, maybe even fewer since AU may have ran a kick back. The QB gifted them two TD's.

Saban doesn't fire assistants. He strongly encourages them to take another job.
Best example was Nussmeier.
Saban had Lane Kiffin in as an "offensive analyst" for the Sugar Bowl.
A few days after the game Nussmeier goes to Michigan.
A few days later Lane Kiffin is named Alabama OC.
