In hindsight the Jacoby Brissett thing was a huge red flagI remember listening to Al's first Joe Rose interview after he was hired. Joe asked him about recruiting, and the first thing out of Al's mouth was along the lines of getting a certain local QB back in the fold. We only had 2 scholarship qb's at the time, 3 if you want to include Spencer Whipple. Now Golden was an idiot and a liar, but even I can't imagine him pulling Teddy's offer when the position is in that bad of shape. Plus, who commits NCAA violations over a kid you are pulling an offer from? We quickly pivoted to Jacoby Brissett which of course failed and we ended up not bringing in a qb in that class.
I remember Golden talking about watching one of Brissetts basketball games with his mom. He was all in on Brissett
He ultimately ended up committing to the Gators basically to compete with Driskell rather than come here
We landed some really good defensive recruits during his time but man his QB recruiting was abysmal
