ROSE: "COACH, HOW DO YOU HANDLE THIS STUFF? YOU’RE NOT STUPID. YOU KNOW IT’S GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER, THE CRITICISM FOR EVERYTHING AND THE RECORD AGAINST CERTAIN OPPONENTS AND BIG TEAMS. DO YOU TAKE PHONE CALLS? DO YOU TEXT PEOPLE BACK? DO YOU TALK TO ALUMS?"
GOLDEN: "My only responsibility is to the team, to these student athletes, and to our staff. From a leadership standpoint I don’t pay attention to any of that.
"We have a tight circle right now in terms of people that support us and people that want to find solutions and help us become the team we want to be. Other than that I can’t really worry about it as the head coach.
"It’s not easy to be a leader. And from that standpoint I accept that responsibility. When the team doesn’t do well I accept that responsibility. And it should be on my shoulders.
"From that standpoint as the leader I’ve got to make sure that I’m setting the tone for the team and what we’ve got to get done. And none of it involves anything on the outside, because none of that can solve the problem, none of that can help us play to our potential and the way we need to play Saturday night to get a big win. Because at the end of the day the only thing that matters is whether or not we’re doing what we need to do today and this week to play our best on Saturday.
"If you live in last week it’s going to beat you twice and I think our guys understand that. That’s our mindset. That’s my mindset as the head coach and student leader. Just focus on our student-athletes and our players, keep serving them and keep getting them to be the type of players and people we want them to be."
