Just a thought:
Golden has Bill Parcells philosophy but Pete Carrols personality. It's not a match at all.
If you are going to run a tight, strict, "every play designed for a guy to make the tackle", then you have to be a tight ***, strict, unfriendly ******* so that the kids never think it's ok when they make even a tiny error.
On the other hand, if you want to be the cool coach that is about positivity, you should run something simple that rewards players for making aggressive plays. PC mostly ran Cov 1 at USC, super simple **** that let the kids have fun and be aggressive; a great match for his coaching style.
