Didn’t see anything on the first page so I’ll bring it up again.
Defense got better as the season went on, and I expect it will better next year given who’s coming back.

I’m not arguing that Golding will or won’t be a good DC. But I think we also have to look at the offenses and QB ratings of the teams we played as the season went on. We played well against the teams we should have and struggled with the QB’s/teams that were equal to us. I’m still not 100% sold that the improvement we saw in the second half is all because of Golding.

Shitty ILB recruiting by Nick and staff has/had PG behind the 8 ball since the day he got the keys from the FAILED Tosh experiment.
Take another look at the ILB recruited in 2017 (Moses good), 2018,and 2019. Crash and burn hug Mav

Here’s how it goes if I’m in charge..
If Pruitt is fired soon, he’s our new DC. You don’t turn that man down.
If Pruitt isn’t fired, we roll with Golding.

Here's the thing about modern college football, an offense with a great QB will put up points and yards, and there's nothing any defense can really do about it if that QB is on that night. Saban has said as much. Until the rules are moved back in the defenses' favor, that is the reality of college football. Who had a better defense than us this past year, maybe UGA? We put 41 on them, and UF put 44 on them. You can argue that we should've held up better against Ole Miss, and I'd agree on that game, but other than Ole Miss, we played as well as we could against every other team. There's not a defense in the land that would've held UF under 40 in that SECCG. And I doubt there is a defense in the land that would've held Ohio St. to only 24 in the NC game.

Yep. I'll also add, the ball control offense we used to run did as much to limit the other team's scoring as the defense did. It's difficult to score a lot if you only get the ball a few times a game.

I agree with everything you said. I was no different imo about PG as a DC, but I was wrong. He’s done a good job with this defense. He’s made some bad decisions but any DC will if their that business long enough.
But yes.... it’s a offensive game now. And it’s not going to change anytime soon.

It’d be a fricking shame if Pete had to coach someone up.

I have over 45 combined years in both a Monday Morning and Armchair coaching capacity. I started out in the late seventies as a Monday Morning coach under Paul “Bear” Bryant. I served through some good times and some lean times. I was promoted to Armchair coach under Gene Stalings and have made in game input since. 2017 - when Sabin went with Tua after the half. That was me. You’re welcome!
Anyway, I have learned to largely keep my mouth shut a trust the GOAT. If he wants to keep Golding, then it is the right decision.

The NCAA might slap a show cause on Pruitt.

I think if this was going to happen or extremely likely UT would have already dismissed him. Nor so much because of the buyout but because they would want to get a new coach in place asap.
Posted on 1/16/21 at 10:08 am to TidalSurge1
Correct. I never wanted Jeremy to leave... but now that Knoxville is burning to the ground, we might need to wait on rehiring him for a while
Posted on 1/16/21 at 10:10 am to Remiden
It takes the NCAA a while to actually do something... I would assume MUCH LONGER than Jeremy being ready to coach for us

I believe he could still be hired as an analyst, which wouldn't be a bad gig until his show cause expired.

Im not talking about the NCAA doing it. UT would already know if it was extremely likely to happen and would distance themselves now rather than wait. That way they could point out they immediately addressed a situation.
If there was enough stuff about paying players there, UT could bargain by telling Pruitt they would keep additional info to themselves, it would not come out to hurt Pruitt, wouldn't hurt the university, and all he has to do is renegotiate his buyout. If fat phil had info on Pruitt and wanted him gone, this would have been how it was handled, with fatso letting all the UT power brokers know how he had saved the university.
If it's something different, like he hid or did nothing about an abuse allegation or something if that nature, it is a totally different story.

I’ll be really interested to see Golding’s progress in 2021. On the one hand, he won’t have a crippled Dylan Moses to line up the defense but often not able to physically make the play. On the other hand, he won’t have a point a minute offense to bail his arse out either.
I have new respect for Moses after hearing of his injury struggles this past season. You could tell Dylan knew everybody’s assignments and directed traffic like a pro out there. But his body just wouldn’t allow him to make the plays he needed to make every time.
The one thing I will harp on till something is done is get Pete Golding off of ILB coaching position. Saban is the GOAT and if he wants to keep Pete as DC then so be it, but sweet baby Jesus, a blind man could see he’s not developing the Mike and Sam position well enough and is out of his depth. If he’s a DB guru like he is supposed to be, figure out a way to let him do it.
I’ll admit I’m not a big fan of Pete so I won’t shed a tear if he leaves. He still does stupid shite too often for me. And even though we’ve got some dogs on defense that make plays, as a unit, I still think we are below potential. Schumann’s father Eric was one of my coaches in high school and if he’s anything like his daddy, he’s got my vote for the next DC. Watching this one play out with great interest.

For what Tennessee just self reported (paintball game on campus and a meal off campus)? Or is there supposed to be do.ethjng else?
Obviously he wouldn't get a show cause for what they just reported. But I haven't heard if there's supposed to be something else coming.

Supposedly improper benefits to at least 2 players. That’s much bigger than what you have heard. Also rumors that UT and UGA are trying to out each other to the NCAA, going scorched earth.

Christian Harris credited Golding with doing just that to him. Called him one of the best coaches in the country...
