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?”

What a chicken sheet coach is Golding. Wahhhhhhh Lane Kiffin took the Oxford job and stayed here for 6 seasons so he could put the idea in a linebackers head that they would both leave and go to LSU when the time came. You shouldn't be paying any attention to the evidence showing me texting a player who was no longer in the portal while he was in class at the school he just transfered to. Ole Miss and this wuss of a coach Golding deserve each other.

Golding is showing me that, unlike some, he's just your typical run-of-the-mill football coach. Not particularly bright, and immature enough to try and evade a question about his program by diverting attention to what another school "allegedly" did. I mean, that's 5th grade level "logic" at best.

Trying to justify his actions. What a lunatic. Hint, it's not the same. He wasn't at Clemson and had a guy follow him! He's a loser.

It's been happening for a few years, now. Where you been, Pete or should I say Rip Van Winkle? You been sleeping?
Kids sometimes follow their coaches to the coach's new destination, whether it be a head coach or an assistant coach, it happens.
SUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP!

I guess he's not on the email list. Pete , to catch you up to 2026- there are no rules. So , stop whining and go watch The Ghosts of Ole Miss and then you will know what Lane knows.

Dottery happened because OM paid someone more money than him. When he asked for more they told him no. He packed up and left

And he proved that exactly how? Sounds like a player wanting to play for his former HC and sees a sinking ship
