Kiffin would’ve won that game by 2 TD’s.

Golding ain’t it.
I had the opposite reaction. Wasn’t warning the game with an analytical eye, but I thought the game plan and play calling for ole miss was fine. More to coaching than game planning with somebody else’s offense, but I would feel ok about in game management if I were ole miss and getting to keep Weiss and Joe judge.

Depends on how all of the 4th downs he’d have gone for would’ve worked out. They go their way they’d have won, they go the other way it’s a blowout.

Ole Miss beat Georgia because of the defensive play, which LK obviously had nothing to do with. If Ole Miss played Miami 10 more time, Miami would when them all. Just way more physical, not even close.
Did you see the score? Defense?
Georgia looked sloppy and like they didn't want to play. Miami couldn't get out of their own way.

Yep, those long FGs would never have been attempted. That’s what won that game for them.
Agreed. Maybe he gets one. But I doubt he gets two, 4th down tries. That takes points off the board.

But above all else, even if Kiffin stayed, It wouldn't surprise me for him to half *** game prep just to get out of there sooner.

Kiffin also wouldn’t kick the field goals that won the GA game. He would’ve gone for it.

1st game Georgia scored on every possession. Second game we shut them down, relatively speaking, especially in the 4th quarter. I think that was the difference. We can agree to disagree.

Miami played Miami football and Ole Miss was perhaps a few seconds away from being in the final. Kiffin built an impressive program and I'm glad he's gone. BTW, Kiffin still doesn't have his QB at LSU and now Miami might be a better option.

Golding was living off Kiffins residuals. With Kiffin gone, things have begun to get back to the Bears norm. Next year, this trend will snowball. Hobby Lobby!

I didn’t watch the game but what would have Kiffin done differently to win it?

Imagine your team losing in the CFP semi then logging into my rivals message board the next morning at 7:00am and posting on it.

Maybe if Kiffin was coaching during the GA game, Kirby would have been more careful about the 4th down calls that set Ole Miss up,

I will make a decision on Goldie after he coaches a full season. I think the outcome might have been different if Kiffin had been the coach.

Agreed. Slow start was all on Golding and the playcalling. Lacey's long run bailed them out in the first half.

Chambliss finally got into a little rhythm to make it a game.

Saw very little adjustments on defense. Golding seemed overwhelmed. He ain't it.

Exactly I don't think kiffins strategy and thinking get them wins against uga or Miami. He takes a lot more risk that bites him. Also speed of play and cockiness makes him make bad decision that have lost them games or out his qb in worst position

Golding is definitely looking less and less like a great hire this morning.

And not because he lost.......he's done fine so far......it's just that all this was done to keep the fairy ride going, now it's over.

He may end up being great, who knows.

You can't judge Golding at all by the playoff games. This was still Kiffin's team, and him leaving motivated the players even more to win as a 17 U to Kiffin for bailing. Greg Knox is like 3-1 as an interim coach, and he's got an office job now. Golding's head coaching job begins now, as he has to hire assistant coaches to replace the ones gone to LSU, work the transfer portal, and recruit. We'll see how next year looks. If Chambliss doesn't get his waiver, it could be a quick slap back to reality.
