Playing Freeman's defense with some of his worked in. Credit to AL for running it well though.

Yea its golden’s defensive scheme he has had for years both him and freeman’s defense are similiar goldens is a bit more complex but he has improved the defense this year its alot better than last year, against a harder schedule will see how they handle this usc challenge seems every coach that we get rid of becomes all world 😂

I am not sure he would still be here, but if he ran his defense and wasn't so attached to No- D, he would have lasted much longer. We can argue about fat Al, but he was a decent recruiter and players seemed to like him.

His problem was fattening kids up to play the wrong position (Chickillo comes to mind).

Imagine if only he could have pulled a Manny and called his own defense while here and got rid of D’onofrio.

Seriously, if we had THAT D with the O we had back then, we'd have been a serious problem, even with the **** cloud. Golden is a good coach. It's a **** shame we were so freaking cheap under Shalala that we couldn't hire a better staff. Golden genuinely seemed like a good dude, even if he did want to bounce to Penn State. There's nothing wrong with wanting to leave a pretty bad situation at Miami to go to your alma mater. ****, Mario left a GOOD program to get a job at his.

Golden, Manny, Radio are good coordinators, just not good HCs. You see this all the time.

Thank u; why is this so hard to comprehend? Although I would argue Diaz is a good coordinator w/ his predecessors’ players.

Regardless, some guys in the industry are not meant to be #1’s, but they are good #2’s. Look at McDaniels for the Raiders; dude is dripping w/ accomplishments as an OC, but absolutely sucks as a HC. Norv Turner is another guy who comes to mind. There’s a slew of guys who r great DC/OC, fail as a HC & go right back to being a great DC/OC. Then some team will take another flyer on them, justifying that maybe they failed b/c of the previous team, & they find out the hard way, again.

Nothing to see here.

The reason Alfred hasn't become a head coRch again is that he's a coordinator.

This, truly, is the revelation of the 2020s.

Oh how not having the talent can make a coach look bad. Turner was an awesome OC and Manny had talent waiting for him. Right on so true about coordinators and head coaches.
