Todays scrimmage

You think when Santana, Reggie, Andre played here that D never gave up plays in practice?

The D will be better this year!

If your defense doesn't give up plays it doesn't always mean a great defense. More likely it means your offense sucks.

True, remember the Kyle Wright days? Glad that offense is gone.

Those were dark days.
Not surprising that our dark period coincided with the rising swell of recruiting sites like rivals and scout.
Personally, I think that was our major problem, and Coker's downfall.
We recruited by star ranking.
Golden seems to know that 5star talent and 1 star heart and work ethic equals Aldarius Johnson, Kyle Wright, Ryan Moore, Lance Leggett whom scout called the next Randy Moss, Charlie Jones, Tyler McMeans, or my all time favorite, Reggie Youngblood, also known as "who?" As he made that much of a splash.

I disagree on the star thing. If you look at 5 star prospects they have a much higher chance of making it to the NFL than 4 and its the same down the list. The difference is the coaching. Alabama has won 3 titles in 4 years and they are top 3 in recruiting every year. Had Golden got the Northwestern kids they probably would have turned out better.

TEMPLE IS IN THE MAC
WE IN THE ACC
DIFFERENCE IN COMP LEVEL
SO WHATEVER GOLDEN DID UP THERE
CANNOT BE TRULY COMPARED TO HERE

Actually it can Golden brought the temple owls to their first winning season in like 30 years and had players drafted in the top end of the draft.

Yes, his level of competition was lower but so was the talent level that Golden had on his team at the time to compete against that lower level of talent.

He had players drafted? Did the other teams have players drafted? If they didn't that would mean that Golden actually had more talent wouldn't it? You'd a think he would have had a couple mac championships to show for it.

The only question is are you a gater or nole

Got or or Nole huh? Plz. I presented a legit question. For intents and purposes golden had mor e talent than the rest of the league. Great job on his part.
