Rock the boat of a crappy defense? Don't we need a new DC to rock the boat of players and coaches to get a better result. I will be disappointed if he does not improve our defense.
If he fails, you are correct. I hope he succeeds, do you? Or would you rather be right?
I'd rather see him go down as an all time great DC. I just try to be a realist. I don't mean rock the boat like demanding FAs or draft picks or insulting others in the organization. I meant a strong personality who isn't afraid to express an alternative vision. A person who can call a spade a spade and may help others to see their point of view. Maybe Golden can be just that.
I just try to make educated guesses based on the information that I have available. He might be another Vance Joseph type who is developed by the organization and comes into his own. I'm left to wonder why others who seem to have more accolades were passed over and not even considered. I'd like to think that ownership is interested in getting the most out of the Burrow era as they possibly can. I'd think that in pursuit of that goal that it'd be wise to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of the best available DC. Again, Golden does have accomplishments and could be a very good DC. I just wonder with the information available to me if he was the optimal hire.
