Remember D'ono, this is weird:

"Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden has agreed to a contract extension that will keep him in South Bend through 2027. That is welcome news to the Irish faithful as Golden has developed Notre Dame’s defense into one of the best units in the nation."

If he had fired his friend what might have been????

same guy who had 10 men on the field two downs in a row on the 1 yard line against OSU last year.

I will say this. Golden had an eye for talent and could develop. I think the problem was he felt suckered into taking the job. they def lied to him about the Shapiro situation and at a certain point he knew he was leaving and just let his buddy collect a pay check. End of the day, it was Golden's defense though. Talk to players from back then, he tried to simulate the whole upcoming game in practice.

Still, as much of a jerk as he was, he had to recruit and hire coaches with one hand tied behind his back. We are in a much better place now though. he belongs in a place like the big 10.

Maaannn, **** that stupid fake storyline. I'm not saying it's your storyline, but we have to stop repeating a lie.

The Shapiro situation, at least the existence of it, was KNOWN in advance of his hiring. But the investigation was still in its early phases, and nobody "lied to Golden" about it. NOBODY KNEW the extent of what Nevin was going to claim, and as things have turned out, Nevin's ACCUSATIONS were largely unsupportable.

All this bull**** that Miami "knew" and "lied to" poor, poor Al Golden is just ridiculous. We were ALL victims of Nevin and his lies, most of which were proven to be untrue. He was just falsely claiming he spent all his Ponzi scheme money so that the government couldn't force him to pay full restitution.

For sure not firing D'Nofrio was crazy. He is an LB coach at Stanford now. Golden's Defenses have looked really good against some good offenses. I know Golden gets a ton of hate but I do factor in he took over and got hit with the Shapiro scandal also. Maybe if ND makes the playoffs Golden gets another chance at a school the likes of a BC or somebody similar.
 
wtf man.. dude got fired 10 years ago.. how many coaches have we had since then? only time I want to hear about folden again is in the Gone too soon thread. I'm not saying I want the dude to die, I'm just saying don't bring his name in here again. move the **** on

Manny Diaz received another Head Corching opportunity before Al Golden has in a decade's less time.

Very telling.

he's like manny, he can't be trusted to develop, inspire, motivate, or recruit

but can be a solid coordinator
