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


Golding was not his own man at BAMA. I always thought he was being weighed down by Coach Saban's concepts. And sometimes it just takes a bear to work for a bear. That ain't Golding.

Jeremy Pruitt got pushback on the sidelines when he took the job. He immediately pushed back, hard. That was that. BAMA's defense changed for the better, and those blitzes we suddenly overwhelmed offenses with were also different. So was simplifying the defensive language and formations, including all the late second disguises. It was never any of that under Golding. It was Saban 101, over and over.

Golding had full control of his convictions at Ole Miss. I mean, what was Kiffin going to say? I'm not sure how such a personality will do running the whole thing. Frankly, I'd rather have a bear.

What a rivalry!

Ole Miss should be the best team in the SEC.


Did they play in the SECCG and win? Nope. can't be the best if you can't beat the best.

Thank you for digging up that factual statement about Golding. He is great. And he has faltered in the biggest games.

Short of winning a national championship, there will be an army of LSU posters saying the same thing, that he choked in the playoffs.

It is weird that a thread about Pete Golding triggered so many LSU fans.

Simply trying to ascertain who, in your mind is LSU.

He had the opposite affect with Bama's defense.


The guy he followed finished the previous three seasons ranked 1st in the nation twice and 2nd in the nation once. It is hard to follow that. Golding had a top 15 defense nationally every season he was at Bama. He is a good defensive coordinator. Not the best, but better than most. He IS frustrating because even if the defense keeps getting burned, in game adjustments are slow to non existent. Third and Golding is real. But he puts a good defense on the field, even if some of the calls and coverages are head scratchers. Sometimes I wonder if these cosches don’t try so hard to trick the opponent they end up confusing their own players.

False numbers. OM isn't anywhere near the Top 10 in scoring defense in 2025. And that's with the easiest schedule in the SEC.

I thought Golding was going to end up like the trees at Auburn in 2022
