re: Sam Spiegelman- 2 possible staff candidates in SEC champ game

You call it arrogance, I call it smart. Why would he go work for a guy whose clearly an inferior coach?

He did O a favor and let him tell Alleva that he was coming but it wasn’t happening. He took less money to go to FAU. Alleva was foolish enough to buy it. Saban had nothing to do with that.

Fair points

I’m sorry Saban is that much of a boogeyman to you that you need to believe these kind of doomsday things, but relax.

15 years of Saban at Bama does have me shook

Golding gets a lot of undeserved hate

I've been watching Alabama since Saban showed up. They've never looked as confused on defense as they have since Golding took over. The fact he's still there is a mystery.

The players aren't as good.

Think about the bama team this year.

Their d line isn't as good as the past. Will anderson is an animal and o par with past bama players.

The linebackers and secondary aren't bama like either.

you want an elite DC Golding isn't it

There’s no such thing as elite DCs anymore. The offenses right now are so far ahead, if you don’t calibrate your brain to understand how college football is even different than 10yrs ago, you are going to have bad takes like this

Bama fans went years with absolute lock down defenses. That is just what they are used to, but don’t realize the game has changed.

The same way lsu fans still have trouble understanding what a modern offense is.

I want to disagree...

But I did feel all along that Kiffin is too arrogant to work underneath O.

You could be correct.

I wanted to disagree too, but after thinking about it I think he's probably correct.

It's a safe assumption Kiffin told O he'd come here if he didn't get a HC job. But what he probably didn't tell O was that there was virtually no way he wasn't going to take an HC job, no matter low he had to stoop.

Hankton would be a lazy hire he's UGA worst recruiter.

That's a relative slight,since uga has a staff full of receuiters. His top 8 all time recruits are out of state, including some La kids LSU wanted.

Yup. I somehow don't think most of the people here have watched enough Bama to see why Bama fans don't like Golding. Sure, they have unrealistic expectations but they're not exactly full retard at what they're seeing. A huge problem with Golding is he's the old saying of stats never tell the entire story. You'd look at Bama and see noticeable improvement stats wise and wonder why Bama fans don't like him. Well, dig into it and you'll see the same defensive problems have been an issue all 3 years at Bama.

They have major lack of communication issues giving up explosive plays, they have major tackling issues that constantly plague the defense, and lastly, I already mentioned his lack of consistency with the defense. To me it seems he's very strong in areas like scheming but where he's weak as a DC is his fundamentals. This is where I think if LSU did make a hire they'd need to surround him with coaches who are excellent on fundamental development.

I'm all for a young coach who can recruit his arse off. Worst case here is we'll get an excellent recruiter who's at least a good schemer. He could also grow and improve just as a player could. As a coach I think he's so-so as you have questions on his fundamental development but as a recruiter it's a homerun hire. They have shown capability to identify and at least fix these problems a the end like last season. Again though, you have to question how much of this is Golding rather than Saban getting involved because he doesn't like what he sees.

Isn’t it harder to get kids from out of state than keep them in-state?
