Pete Golding became DC at Ole Miss in 2023. Here is Ole Miss’ tecord and defensive rank in the SEC by points allowed per game and yards allowed per game during the Kiffin era with and without Pete Golding.

Pre Golding

2020: 5-5, #14, #14
2021: 10-3, #8,#11
2022: 8-5, #9, #8

Average defense ranking: #10, #11

Post Golding

2023: 11-2, #6, #10
2024: 10-3, #1,#3
2025: 12-1, #5, #9

Average defense ranking: #4, #7

Ole Miss’ defense improved dramatically under Golding. Ole Miss’ record reflected it.

Ole Miss should be the best team in the SEC.

We get it, Golding is an improvement over kiffin.


If you guys repeat it enough, everyone will believe it.

That's great.

He had the opposite affect with Bama's defense.

LSU fans are by far the most insecure fanbase in the country

Never thought I would see Bama fans praising Golding, they hated that guy when he was at Bama.

Bama fans start a thread about a former coach they hated and the fans for the current team he coaches say LSU is insecure

Bama fan starts a thread about how Pete Golding has substantially improved the OM defense during his time there and half the responses are from upset LSU fans about Pete Golding being successful at OM.

LSU fans puking in a thread with absolutely nothing to do with them or their team is the definition of insecure

Ole Miss won several close games this year and they weren’t anywhere close to shootouts. I wonder how much of their success can be attributed to Golding instead of Kiffin? If I were LSU I would be worried I just overpaid big time

What if Pete is actually the white board genius Saban says he is? Fun hypothetical that He can’t call in game defense, but can run a solid program.
