Don't Forget Al Golden is ND's DC

[Koke]

That’s pretty much Marcus Freeman’s defense.

Al Folden...

Stanford came in averaging 25 not including the Colgate game. 16 points seems like a pretty good job to me. Do people expect them to be the 85 Bears? They are a good defense. Their offense is pathetic.

I am not an Al Golden fan but when he came to UM in he was not aware of THE CRIPPLING SANCTIONS that were going to be levied against the UM football program. He was blindsided and that was brutal. I don't think he was a terrible coach but his relationship with D'Onofrio and the sanctions killed him.

U are forgetting he was stubborn and never adjusted to the skill players he had. Come on!

Al Folden...

Folds like a cheap tent

 

[nickster]

I never said he was a good coach at all. I said I didn't think he was a terrible coach. I don't forget it because I railroaded him out of here.

Nephew is an ND grad and diehard. Nobody is blaming Golden. The are blaming the admin because they are tired of another first time HC. They also despise Tommy Rees.

Granted Al is an easy and deserving target but aside from 1 game Notre Dame can't score in a whorehouse with a handful of hundreds.

From the link I posted:

"Defensive coordinator Al Golden also had his fair share of issues in the game, and the Irish linebackers continue to struggle."

So I would not say nobody.

So if Jim Leonhard is now the Interim Head Coach, I wonder who is taking up some of the Defensive Coordinator slack?

Golden to Penn State to replace Manny.

This can be true and false at the same time.

he recruited while self imposing. he found and developed kids.

 

[MachoMan]

Their defense is actually pretty good. Especially w Freeman there as well.

Not bad as a DC, don't understand how he let that defense play so badly at the U

Who would have thought Al Golden would be the best developer of talent in 15 years of Miami football. @Liberty City El you were right it's over.

 

[ddann]

Al Golden is not hurt.

 

[3FW]

Golden is the only dude to have 12 players drafted off a 5-6 team. Solely because his rigidity on not changing the defense.

I believe we're over 30 points average per team now in CFB. They scored 16 points, McDouble was the least of their worries that game IMO.

a bit skewed bc of the Bethune game but yeah

 

[AUcane]

Hold team to 16 points, I think you should win. No?

This. Their offense (QB, especially) is brutal.

And to think, Mario really liked Rees.
