Pete Golding said on Monday that he works on next year's roster daily, in the middle of a playoff race, and then described the machinery behind it. There are weekly reports. Golding said they cover retention, the value of the players they have invested in, and what the production and performance look like to this point. He named general manager Austin as owning part of that work. Then the line worth sitting with: conversations with players who can come back start earlier than they used to, and, in Golding's words, we all know there's other conversations going on. Segment two: Golding graded his own defense in public and did not reach for a soft word. Very inconsistent. Hit or miss. He got specific about Texas, where 121 rushing yards came after the 10:30 mark of the fourth quarter on basically two plays, and said he is not mad they missed the tackles, he is mad about how they missed them. He told the team Sunday night and called it a come to Jesus. His words: you show me so many times, I got to believe you. The honest counterweight: every staff in this league is doing the same roster work, and a coach who was not would be failing at the job. And Golding calls this defense himself, so the grade lands on him too. He said so. Where do you put the blame for that fourth quarter? Tell me in the comments.
