Golden has to see there is no way he can turn this ship around and the pressure that is mounting has to be wearing him and his family out mentally and physically. If I am him (good thing I'm not), I think the smart move would be to:
-Save face, negotiate a buyout from the school (both parties meet in the middle and both parties sort of win financially in this situation). Have the school spin it as a resignation similar to Texas and Mack Brown (Resignation).
-Take a year or two off to rebuild my foundation as a coach and re-charge (schemes, pillars (LOL), connections, philosophies etc.).
-Come back into coaching as a Coordinator and work my way back up the ranks
