4thand1 271 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 NFL coordinator jobs are usually short lived and you bounce around the league city to city. Win a NC at ND and you will be celebrated forever. Golden would be paid very well, have stability and you would be working for a HC that has a great personality (unlike NDs previous HC) ! Season's greetings to all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason is I remember Golden saying he came to Notre Dame because of Freeman’s character, morals, values, and goals at Notre Dame. With that being said, I do believe Golden will be the Defensive Coordinator for a while. Let’s hope for at least as long as Venables was at Clemson! 🤞🏼 Yes, I seem to recall him also saying something to the effect that he came to ND because, well, it’s ND. Wasn’t really interested in returning to the college ranks until Notre Dame came along. I’m guessing that is why the speculation around Al Golden is he would only leave for an NFL job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithInIrish Forever 4,701 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Worth a listen guys and gals Malik and Cam Mcdaniel both played for Denbrock and call him a starmaker. Reference Floyd, Fuller and more. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been over 20 years of no issuues besides Ludwig and that was different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't but a puddle jumper from Baton Rouge. The drive distance from Baton Rouge to El Paso (1014 miles) is a little further than the distance of driving from New York City to Jacksonville, Florida (937 miles). As a Texas person, I can say that the drive to El Paso, once you've passed San Antonio, is about as desolate as it gets. And it's still a looooonnnnggg way.

And it is fairly quick, about as quick as a flight from Dallas to Chicago. I agree Denbrock would probably benefit from being in El Paso for game prep and the game itself. I don't know if he has started in the position of OC already, or if that starts after the game. Either way, being involved with the coaches and players now would help in his developing his new offense before spring ball arrives. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
