Al Golen leaving?

[Irish_inPSU]

I guarantee he himself had zero discussions with the Bengals. His agent handled the entire thing until his interview after the game. It's pathetic how some here are questioning his dedication and professionalism. It's embarrassing.

I never questioned his dedication or professionalism. You are correct these things go through agents but agents aren't going to make any moves without consent. We're all speculating and will never know the closed door situation. I don't believe it caused any issues with the defense on Monday night, but you can't tell me it wasn't in the back of his mind through the week leading up to the game.

Garbage.

Your opinion,not fact.

Closer to fact that opinion. An NFL only waits on a college team for weeks if the coach is a lock

Taylor and Golden are friends, the verbal agreement was locked in weeks ago.

Golden should get a medal for keeping Ohio State under 40 pts with the devastation of the dline due to all the injuries etc.

An Offense that took a 10 minute opening drive and scored a TD is only thing that kept the points down. the D gave up 31 points the first 5 possessions, that's almost as bad as you can do defensively. Goldens prep, plan, and game calling/adjustments were terrible.

BS, him and taylor are good friends. I would bet a lot of money he talked to taylor multiple times and yeah the agent handled the details, but he gave taylor a verbal.

Give it a rest, clown.

You have repeated this same shit for three days.

Do you understand the coverage they were in ? You make the call and if it works you get all the praise. If not you get questioned. It's the nature of the beast. If they had sacked the QB would you still be saying it was a coaching error ? Hindsighters are lazy.

that call took away any possibility of a sack because it made it so easy for howard and smith to know what to do PRE SNAP. There was no pre snap read due to formation and obviously no safety help.

Call Marcus Freeman and apply to be the Notre Dame DC.

So pathetic. Al Golden is going to be at the very top of his chosen profession. How many here can say that ? You're reactions to the outcome of the game are nothing more than emotional,anger filled drivel. For someone who says they played the game at the college level it's laughable. The clearly better team won. It really is that simple. If you did indeed play you should know that sometimes you get beat and sometimes you lose. ND got beat.

Yep, but how often are you in a championship game with a key coordinator already out the door? That's disappointing.

Do you not think it was the worst coached game by Golden at ND? I sure think so. I also think people are human and react differently when they are already out the door despite how professional and good you are. That's common in the work force when people are switching jobs/companies.

I still respect players and coaches that are all in. It just appeared to me that golden wasn't all in as the play calls and more importantly the execution of the play calls were terrible. I think one of the most underrated aspects of a great coordinator is having his group execute the calls. ND did that so poorly last 2 games against the run, then also bad against the pass vs OSU.

Seriously. Since you are so smart, and know everything about defense, email Marcus Freeman and Pete Bevacqua, apply to be the Notre Dame DC.

Use chaseball as a reference.

You can't blitz and expect have any kind of safety help unless you specifically assign 2 guys to 1 receiver when playing against a boundary receiver running a fade route. He could only get help if it's a bracket coverage (2 on 1), 2 man under, or a soft cover 2. Golden took a gamble and lost. As much as everyone wants to blame Gray, he was in a very difficult position especially since he played inside leverage, which in that scenario it was likely more probable that Smith was going to run an in route as opposed to a fade. So I don't blame Gray for using that technique. In hindsight he should have played outside leverage with his back towards the near sideline. And while many want to blame Gray, I think the guys blitzing have just as much responsibility for not getting Howard pressured. It's a team game.

You also need to know as a coordinator how gray was playing in the game, that was obvious. Bringing 6 instead of 7 and having inside leverage by gray with safety help over the top is an obvious call before the game, during ,and after.

Leaving gray on an island against smith with how he was playing was really really bad. Gray obviously didn't help being slow turning his hips and going.

Whatever you say Sparky.

What else is he supposed to say? Blame the players? That is coaching 101. All reputable coaches place the blame on themselves.

Can you tell us more about how you thought Golden did a bad job?
