Why am I so annoyed we might lose Al Golden? - Larz, 2025-01-22, 10:14
- Here’s why I’m not mad at him - JD in Portland, 2025-01-22, 13:46
  - Right. We've been hoping he wouldn't leave to go back - BillyGoat, 2025-01-22, 14:19
- it would be nice to have a good DC stay longer than 3 years - Kyle, 2025-01-22, 12:14
  - Does that happen any more? Venables was at Clemson - BillyGoat, 2025-01-22, 12:28
    - true, I was hoping he could be Freeman's version of Venables - Kyle, 2025-01-22, 13:19
      - Me too. And I still think there's a chance. It seems like - BillyGoat, 2025-01-22, 13:30
        
        LOL. This didn't age well. Or, at least, not for long. - BillyGoat, 2025-01-22, 13:31
        
        Sounds like this might have been the only job - Jeremy (WeIsND), 2025-01-22, 13:39
- I'm less annoyed with every passing day - Jeremy (WeIsND), 2025-01-22, 11:41
  - Golden was a home run hire, though - Jay, 2025-01-22, 12:08
    - The good news is that Freeman doesn't need him as much now - Jeff (BGS), 2025-01-22, 13:17
    - Definitely not. There's an art first and foremost to - BillyGoat, 2025-01-22, 12:26
  - Are your concerns about Freeman specifically? Or are they - BillyGoat, 2025-01-22, 11:59
  - what have his biggest whiffs been? - Mike (bart), 2025-01-22, 11:58
    - I don't have concerns about hires he's made - Jeremy (WeIsND), 2025-01-22, 12:11
      - Why wouldn't he? - Jack, 2025-01-22, 13:06
        
        Saban 2.0 - JD in Portland, 2025-01-22, 14:00
      - The program is also in a very different spot - Mike (bart), 2025-01-22, 12:16
        
        I think we need to get a bit more Diaco-ish - HumanRobot, 2025-01-22, 12:18
        
        strong disagree - Mike (bart), 2025-01-22, 12:27
        
        Also, I think that we have to assume we will continue to - BillyGoat, 2025-01-22, 12:30
        
        Maybe more Diaco-ish in terms of having a ready-made - bpeters07, 2025-01-22, 12:29
        
        We had a ready made default. C-1 Robber - Mike (bart), 2025-01-22, 12:33
        
        thanks, that's what I was trying to say - HumanRobot, 2025-01-22, 12:32
    - Agreed. - KGB, 2025-01-22, 12:05
      - I think Golden was recommended to Freeman by Swarbrick - HumanRobot, 2025-01-22, 12:09
        
        true - Jay, 2025-01-22, 12:31
    - Totally agree. The "misses" all deserve at least an asterisk - BillyGoat, 2025-01-22, 12:02
- I really want to know what the hell he was thinking on D - Jay, 2025-01-22, 10:27
  - Coincidence? - Domer99, 2025-01-22, 10:58
    - I dunno - Jay, 2025-01-22, 11:03
      - I don’t love this take but - Dallasdomer, 2025-01-22, 11:26
        
        I completely disagree on Lea relative to Golden. - KGB, 2025-01-22, 11:41
        
        I think both DCs are excellent. I love the way Golden - BillyGoat, 2025-01-22, 11:55
        
        We will miss Golden if he leaves - DenverIrish, 2025-01-22, 12:33
  - Yes. - PMan, 2025-01-22, 10:34
  - We just couldn't get home on Howard. - KGB, 2025-01-22, 10:31
    - Howard's pocket presence was excellent too - bpeters07, 2025-01-22, 10:45
      - Especially because that pass was rushed and incomplete - CK08, 2025-01-22, 11:00
    - It felt like he was getting rid of the ball very quickly. - Grantland, 2025-01-22, 10:36
      - Which means receivers were open - Jack, 2025-01-22, 10:48
  - someone in Slack - HumanRobot, 2025-01-22, 10:31
    - is the Coach Cam a different feed than Skycast? - Jay, 2025-01-22, 10:48
      - Yeah - bpeters07, 2025-01-22, 11:09
        
        speaking of Ryan Harris - Jay, 2025-01-22, 11:14
        
        Awesome - bpeters07, 2025-01-22, 11:25
    - Coach cam showed Freeman having an extended conversation - bpeters07, 2025-01-22, 10:42
  - On the last 3rd down play where we blitzed 7 - Mike (bart), 2025-01-22, 10:30
    - how about the first TD - Jay, 2025-01-22, 11:09
      - Smith faked a reverse/end around - CK08, 2025-01-22, 11:41
      - the timeout usage generally was BAD - Mike (bart), 2025-01-22, 11:19
        
        I hated the timeout on OSU's last drive of the half - CK08, 2025-01-22, 11:43
        
        It was an aggressive call - Jeremy (WeIsND), 2025-01-22, 12:15
- Because it's the stupid, cheap-ass Bengals. - KGB, 2025-01-22, 10:26
  - Yes. Agreed. - Greg, 2025-01-22, 10:56
- I've got a bunch of copes lined up - HumanRobot, 2025-01-22, 10:21
