Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding spoke with reporters at SEC Spring Meetings on Wednesday and was asked about tampering claims from Clemson regarding the signing of linebacker Luke Ferrelli.

In his response, Golding brought up new LSU linebacker TJ Dottery, who followed Lane Kiffin to Baton Rouge after two seasons at Ole Miss.

quote:

"I’m not going to sit up here and say whatever we did or we didn’t do, was it right or was it wrong? But, you know, when you go through what we went through (with tampering), and what you’re seeing day-in and day-out, some things you feel like shouldn’t matter that they’re making a big deal about," Golding said.

“Not comparing [Ferrelli] to a guy who’s been a starter somewhere that wasn’t in the portal that’s at a new school now after going to a semifinal — like what are we doing? That’s the piece where everybody’s at. There’s an enforcement of [Ferrelli], who just took an, but there’s not an enforcement of [Dottery], who was here for three years, and he’s been tampered with the entire time? What are we doing?”

I can't comprehend the jibberish he spit out right there. Clearly he's not denying anything he's being accused of.

If he knows that we tampered to get Dottery, prove it. It probably won't change any penalty coming their way.

Ole Miss is all in on this season anyway. They know that one Chambliss and Lacy are gone, so is their relevance.

Difference is Golding you were dumb enough to be so blatant with cheating you somehow got caught when everyone is doing it they're just doing it in much smarter ways than you. Like contacting their agents without directly contacting the athlete. Idiot.

I really have no idea how Ole Miss fans have ANY confidence that Golding can sustain what Kiffin built there. He will do his best this year b/c of Chambliss & the RB returning, but after that he’s done.

Sir you didnt come from Clemson, Lane came from Ole Miss and to LSU. If kids want to follow their coach they can. PG is literally crying about different shite is all I need to know about this fake. I knew he would find a way to blame LSU. WILD.

I wonder if Golding will get reprimanded for those comments, or is it just Kiffin?

Baseless claims. Throw crap on the wall and see if it sticks.

Every team tampers nowadays. Players go to the highest bidder (and get fired when they don’t perform. There is no point in having a rule against tampering.
