But this has been a bumpy ride.
On FNS (football never sleeps) both said if we still had Golden as DC we’d likely be 2-0 (for the record, it’s an awesome question one we all ask ourselves as we lie awake at night, but no one knows for sure)
What we do know is that when Golden was here we had an elite defense.
It is my hope that maybe ND can try to get Golden to return somehow.
I do think this in today’s college football coordinators are more important than ever. With recruiting, portal, NIL, media commitments, the HC has a ton on his plate.
Also, might I add, you probably want to hire someone who’s doing the job you are trying to fill, aka coaching at XYZ U or NFL team.
Also, I add that at a place like ND, or other big programs, if you have someone who’s got it rolling like Golden, do everything you can to keep them, my guess is they tried, but he wanted a new challenge.
Just my 2 cents, as always I could be wrong 🍀🍀🍀
