Or he becomes Stoops’ successor when UK cans his ass, being only 2 hours down the road in Cincy.

We can go get Jon Sumrall then.

Would make timing really difficult if the Bengals make the playoffs.

Aww that’s a funny concept.

I think Taylor’s on the hot seat, so if they don’t make the playoffs, he and the rest of the staff might be fired which would make Al very available for us.

On the other hand, apparently Golden never moved to South Bend. He kept his Cincinnati area house and has 3 high school aged kids. If Scott Satterfield doesn’t show any progress in year 3, Golden’s probably on top of UC’s target list and he wouldn’t even have to consider moving.

All that makes sense. Golden left Cinci for ND in the first place so not too surprising he’d return there and potentially look at long term roots in the Ohio Northern Ky area.

I know nothing about this situation (including whether Golden would have interest in UVa or vice versa), but just from Wikipedia research, it looks like the fam was just in Cincinnati when the music stopped (so to speak). He was there when HS started and the fam decided not to uproot the kids again.

Now perhaps that means they really want to make Cincinnati home or perhaps it just means that once HS is over in a few years they’ll be happy to move for jobs again. :man_shrugging:

Golden is from NJ, school in PA, and wife seems to be from PA. There’s no obvious link to the Cincinnati area.

Cincinnati and Pennsylvania are both in Ohio I’m pretty sure.

Hopefully he’s not big into bourbon

I’d think they’ll go hard after Sumrall first. Another name I could see them going after but not sure he’d be interested— Brian Hartline. His brother went to UK and he’s due for a big job. There were reports he was interested in WVU, and I think you might rather have Kentucky than WVU.

Ugh

He’s staying at PSU

The newest rumor for VT’s DC is Jay Bateman, which would be hilarious.

So what is Dex’s deal up there? Doesn’t want to be the main DC? Just wants to recruit and work with the secondary?

This is now several times he’s been hired over, it’s more than a little odd.

I wonder if he’s waiting for a job like ODU or Liberty to open up so he can take a head job. Or waiting for us to open up again so he can make another run at that.

Playing the waiting game on something like that seems real dangerous

I feel like it’s starting to hurt his stock a bit too. It kind of elicits a ā€œJames Franklin doesn’t trust him to run a defense, why should we trust him to run our team?ā€

Yeah I don’t get why he couldn’t wait for a HC job as the main DC… feels like there’s more of a reason he hasn’t gotten any form of promotion. And I mean that respectfully, love Dex. Just calling what I see…

Have any of our transfers outside of AC and Fields found homes?

Scroll down to the outgoing transfers.
