Pete Golding Is Running A Three Year Defense With One Year Players | Ole Miss Bye Week

Everybody watching Saturday decided the Ole Miss defense got exposed. That's the wrong read. Ole Miss has an All-Big 12 linebacker who is more athletic than anything on last year's roster and he was late getting sideline to sideline all afternoon — and the theory on this show is that the problem is not talent or effort, it is that Pete Golding is running a Nick Saban match-coverage system that takes three years to learn, in an era where eight of your eleven starters arrived in January. John Fourcade agreed, and then told us exactly what he would do with the two weeks. 11 days to Vanderbilt. Bye week two of two, and the fix Fourcade wants is not a scheme — it is a threat. Steven Willis and John Fourcade take apart the Florida defensive performance, land on simplification as the answer, and then Fourcade lays out a bye-week plan that ends with benching whoever will not tackle — and explains why NIL is the reason nobody does it.
