Will ND pay Golden

You'd think they'd pay him what he wants unless you need to move the secondary coach to DC in order to keep him.
He is already paid at the top. He isn't going to Clemson.
He said a while back...I didn't come back to college I came to Notre Dame.

I just took a look at the chatter on a few Clemson boards. They are delusional. Many seem to think that Golden is theirs if they want him, though some apparently think he isn't worthy of the position because Clemson "exposed" him when he was the head coach at Miami. Now that's precious. It was like the guys here saying we should just go after Nick Saban or Urban Meyer. Total fantasy.
I cannot imagine money will be an issue; Freeman and Bevacqua will make sure Golden is paid whatever is needed to keep him at ND, assuming Golden decides he wants to remain a DC in college. And why would Golden want to move over to a program that may be in a downward trajectory (Clemson) for one that is moving up the scale? To be sure, Clemson is still a very good football program, but the bloom is off the rose from where they were 5 or 6 years ago.
From articles I have read on Golden he seems to really like the culture at ND, and I also read his son is attending ND, though I have not attempted to verify that. If Golden moves on, it will be because he is offered a DC job with an NFL team, or a college decides to offer him a head coaching position. He ain't going to Clemson to become the new DC there.

He's going to leave for a lateral move? Please. I think he will get offered HFC positions sooner than later. Just a question as to whether or not he wants to be an HFC again.
If you pay Al Golden 3.0-5.0 million, then you pay Mike Denbrock 3.0-5.0 million, then all other assistants want a raise as well.
Bullshit.
If I am correct, they just re-did Golden's contact when they hired Denbrock.
Golden is not going anywhere.
He signed an extension through 2027 according to this article at roughly the same as what Denbrock got.........$9 million over 4 years

So what
Golden is worth more than any single player. Freeman wouldn’t be where he is without golden.
Not worried about Notre Dame losing a financial battle with anyone for an assistant.
If the tag comes with coach in waiting or Golden is wanting a change of scenery and warmer weather then there won't be much that'll keep him in SB.
I think his aspirations of a head coach have been somewhat neutralized but I can't speak for him and you can't expect him to stay in SB forever.
Our defense is awesome. They carry the team. I don't know, if we win it all this year he might be like, my work is done.
