Love Mickens and he is ready to be a DC somewhere, but I think ND has to get a proven DC if Golden leaves. Look at the OSU coaching staff. They threw money at Knowles at DC and Kelly at OC. Kelly had an absolute field day with Golden last night. They might have scored 50 if he was going against a first-time DC.

- Golden, except for last nite, had a great season, and a great 3 years at ND. Kudos to him. [NT] - NDQuebec - 10:25am 1/21/25

- I doubt Denbrock goes anywhere. Golden is gonzo, unfortunately. - LanceManion - 7:47am 1/21/25
- I'm curious to see how Denbrock uses Carr. - AlbanyIRISH - 8:21am 1/21/25
- TBD. Have had a hard time distinguishing whether our O limited by Leonard or Denbrock [NT] - LanceManion - 8:47am 1/21/25
- I no longer assume Carr is definitely going to be QB1 - Frankie V - 8:44am 1/21/25
- I tend to think Carr's injury was pretty serious. A lot will come down to the OL. If ND needs a QB - WestCoastIrishFan - 8:47am 1/21/25
