In February, Gold voiced his disappointment after Alabama did not renew his contract.

quote:
“Well, the university has chosen not to bring me back,” Gold told Casagrande. “This is not, with a capital N-O-T, not at all health-related. I am very healthy. Everything is wonderful. I am healthy as a horse.”

His comments sparked a statement from The Crimson Tide Sports Network.
