This right here sums up the Golden Error (huehuehuehue). FEAR. Him and his sidekick think they're at Temple and can only play scared on defense.
How about a philosophy based on disruption? Aggression? An attacking aimed at forcing turnovers and shutting down an offense? Nope.
This is why people who call him a CEO are clueless and don't know what being a CEO entails. Golden sits down with one of his managers and this strategy is brought to him, he checks off on it. He loves the idea. Sees nothing wrong with. Forget that it's cost his "business" 2 losses already, and was a disaster for 2 full years, he wants to keep pressing forward.
Lmao at anyone thinking firing Donofrio is the answer. We play this ****, MAC type of defense because Golden loves it, it'll never change.
