The only downside I see happening is Ohio State destroying the ND defense on Monday, and people are suddenly down on the hire because of one game.
Saban used to say often that in college great players make great teams. The OSU offense is an elite unit with NFL talent all over. I think the two outcomes are if Golden can slow it down he did a great job, if he can't that's when better players win out. ND runs a lot of man coverage and I am not sure they will get away with that on Jeremiah Smith, I could see them running split coverage with man opposite and then a zone scheme with zone matching to smiths side.
