He pretty much defended D'Onfrio on WQAM this morning which means another year of 500 yards a game defense.
Golden doesn't have any killer instinct to be a HC. Doesn't want to make difficult decisions and wants to keep his BFF hired. I'm now indifferent about this program and the way it's headed. 9-4 and what's about 5 years behind FSU in terms of talent AND coaching. Can't wait to see the apologist next year when we have a 7-6 record.
What he said, and I dont technically disagree with him, is that this defense, EVEN under Donofrio, CAN be much better, as it was in their first year. I understood what he was tying to say as "if we had even the guys we had in 2011, we would be much better on D". Can anyone actually disagree with that? I mean in fairness, he never said we were good on D, or that 2011 was the GOAT D, just that it was much better, and it was. I think its a combination of talent, and scheme, but under the right circumstances, our defense could and should be significatly better, even under Donofrio. Now, Im not exactly thrilled about that, I think Donofrio has failed and things were just SO bad, that a major change there is absolutely warranted, but I also understand what Golden was getting at, and why he may feel that given the time and right personnel, they can get the defense to be much better than it is.
