And against the "Big Boys," it often looked like amateur night. That ain't Alabama!
The point I've been trying to make throughout this discussion is exactly what you wrote … it WAS "amateur night" during those two games.
More than half of our front seven for both games were true freshmen: DJ Dale, Byron Young, Shane Lee, and Christian Harris. Two more freshmen -- Jordan Battle and Justin Eboigbe -- were in the two-deep of the overall defense.
I don't know if you fully understand the tremendous disadvantage that is. Literally the entire middle of our defensive front was playing high-school football just 11 months prior to those games.
I don't know if Golding is a good DC or not. Maybe he's terrible; maybe he's a genius. But refusing to accept the handicaps he faced while trying to plan for and defend those teams is myopic at best. Based on the losses we had in 2019, though -- particularly the timing of those losses -- I'm not ready to call him a failure. It's like tying a man's legs together right before a marathon and then telling him "Now go win this race."
I'll say this: If he remains on staff throughout 2020 as DC, and the defense continues to struggle (by our standards, anyway), I'll be leading the charge to get rid of him.

That's a really good post you got there.
