Nothing wrong with the formation, but the CB must try to knock the WR off his route in that instance. IDK if it was player error or coaching, but that was the issue there. As to the coaching: I give dude credit, he never stopped trying to adjust, they were just out-manned. He's not my first choice but if we bring him in I hope he can get us to average

At the end of the day he took the best team in college to the wire with a talent deficit. He went balls out to try win it. That’s the type of person I want here rather than a bend don’t break.

I’m sure there’s plenty of his almost 5 million followers who didn’t know Golden was the guy. Anyway, the last report was that it was down to Graham and Golden. It didn’t really become clear it was definitely the latter until the last few days.

Running cover zero with Jeremiah Smith on the field is absolute insanity. I can respect the risk taker in him but it’s just not a sound call. He deserves the criticism for it. Notre Dame just didn’t have the DB talent for that to work out.

In his defense, Day/Kelly were playing extremely conservative. No matter where the first down occurs, it likely ends the game the same. It’s not a whole lot different than the Jayden Daniels to McClaurin play. Sometimes the players make the play. If they don’t bring pressure? Will Howard might scramble for a first and he is getting killed for playing soft. Ohio state was clearly the better team and the fact ND made it interesting is a testament to that team, coaches and players. It could have been 42-7 if they played again.

I turned it off and went to bed at halftime, because it looked like a blow out and I had to get up at 5 AM. Do we still want this guy?

What that lesson is I have no idea, but don't leave the best WR in the country in single coverage allowing him to run a simple fly/go route downfield on the biggest play of the game. “Don't give up.

Mike Sherman was the head coach at the time. Jim Turner was the Oline coach when Zac Taylor was there. He also happens to be Mike Sherman's cousin. We hired him after he had not had a job in 5 years, as he was fired from Miami following the bullying scandal. Zac also happened to be the QB coach at Miami at the same time Turner was there. Lou Anarumo was the DB coach at Miami during Zac's time there as the QB coach. Brian Callahan is the son of Bill Callahan, who was the head coach at Nebraska when Zac Taylor played QB there. Frank Pollack was a Bill Callahan disciple. He was also a former Bengals coach. He was Bill's assistant coach in Dallas from 2013-2014. Scott Peters was also a Bill Callahan disciple. He was Bill's assistant coach in Cleveland from 2020-2023. Al Golden, should he be hired as our new DC, is a former Bengals LB coach from 2020 to 2021. Some of these hires ended up working out. I think Callahan and Anarumo were good coaches here. But it always felt like Taylor was hiring people that he knew without really looking very far elsewhere.

I don't follow other teams very closely, so I don't know exactly how they build their coaching staffs. Nepotism is obviously a big problem in the NFL, so it may be that all staffs are assembled like this. But it just would have been nice if we cast a wider net. Why not interview Matt Eberflus, Jim Leonard, Robert Salah, Dennis Allen, etc? Seems like a wasted opportunity to just see what other voices are out there.

Not sure where Christian Grey is going on this play but he shouldn't be giving up that much outside leverage in cover 1 or cover 0.

But they pretty much had to gamble so I don't consider that such a big giant mistake. It just didn't work.

Al Golden was pulling out the stops trying to create pressure and stop the run but nothing worked. Doesn't help they didn't have a single DL over 300lbs.

If you liked Lou, you'll like Golden. 1 punt, no pressure, blown coverages, a timely turnover, and an overall overwhelmed defense....
