At What Point Will You Admit You Were Wrong About Pete Golding?


when we see what he does without the best QB in ole miss history and the best RB in the country.

And yeah, OM fans are going to reply "HA!! I KNEW you were going to say that! That's all anyone says!!" but uh...yeah. Obviously. That just makes logical sense doesnt' it? He's been a head coach for like 6 games in his career and was basically handed the keys to a ferrari. Note: I am NOT saying he sucks or he's incompetent or any other disparging insult. I'm simply saying we have no clue the limits of his abilities until we see him without an elitely stacked roster that someone else primarily recruited.

Chizik looked great at AU in year 2. Larry Coker looked incredible in year 1. Orgeron looked amazing with an offense full of NFL all stars and a coordinator currently HCing an NFL team. Of course we see what happened to those guys once their gravy trains left. That is simply TBD on golding and we won't know until a couple years from now.

You mean after a team loses their best player at the most important position on the field they might take a step back



NO WAY

A couple of things are now painfully evident in all this.

The first is this. Pete Golding took notes when he was under Saban's tutelage. Kiffin? Well not so much.

The second thing. Well it's fairly obvious now that Nicholas Lou Saban absolutely hates the University of LSU Fighting Tigers. He went above and beyond in doing his part to afflict them with Lane Kiffin.

I'm sticking with my original offseason prediction:

Golding did a great job in bringing in someone with a similar system and a demonstrated history of running a good offense.

I'm sure there will be a drop-off, but Lacy and Chambliss are good enough to probably keep that at bay until at least 2027.

I will start admitting I was wrong about Pete once we see what he can do without an ineligible player bailing him out time and time again.

Pete ain’t no slouch. Listen to that man talk ball. He knows ball. Saban hired him for a reason. You don’t think saban could have had whatever D coordinator he wanted in college football?



Pete's problem never was knowing the X's and O's. Actually, that is what impressed Saban so much that he hired him. Saban said he knows the X's and O's of defense better than anyone that was that age he'd ever known. So he hired him. The problem with Pete, was always when the original game plan wasn't working and he had to adjust. He constantly struggled to adjust. Though on a white board he could "wow" you to death at how much X's and O's he knew, when the bullets starting firing in a game, he struggled to adjust when the original game plan wasn't working.

Lane doesn't recruit. Pete was the engine behind everything outside of QB/WR/RB

And Pete convinced Lacy and TC to stay in the offseason.

So to say it isn't his is bullshite.

He's going to have to prove he has a life after Chambliss and can run a program. How is this that fricking hard for the Runts?

Guys please give Ole Miss fans validation so they can stop playing victim.


I was hoping beating LSU would calm them, but it doesn’t appear to have worked.

A senior QB is greater than a true sophomore who was coached by Freezus?
