Alabama defensive backs coach Derrick Ansley has agreed in principle to become Colorado State’s defensive coordinator, sources have told Football Scoop.

Ansley's plan is to leave after Monday’s national championship game against Georgia and join Mike Bobo's staff with the Rams. He is the second defensive staff casualty for the Crimson Tide, joining defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt who was named Tennessee's head coach in December.

Ansley's secondary at Alabama leads college football in pass efficiency.

Pete Golding, Alabama's 10th assistant hired last week, has a history as a defensive backs coach but his role hasn't yet been defined in Tuscaloosa.
