re: Kevin Steele...I know Pete Golding was bad but he can't be this bad

Golding's problem was never overall stats. Most games the defense played very well. But he was always good for at least one game a year where his D would be absolutely obliterated (see: 2020 Ole Miss, 2021 Texas A&M, 2022 Tennessee, 2022 LSU, and go ahead and dump 2023 LSU in there too) and he would have no idea what to do to stop it. With Steele we have at least (so far) avoided that. We've been consistently very good. Not great, but very good. I'll take consistency over "randomly forget how to coach for a game or two" all day long.
