Pass interference on Ole Miss not called......

 

[GrayTide]

I cannot stand Chris Fowler and his screaming drama. Guess I will have to pull for either Oregon or Indiana now. I imagine Kiffin is relieved that Ole Miss was eliminated. I am out guys.

Hoosiers are way better than Miami this year.

lol.. beck has 7 yrs in college football!

Got his Ph.D? Or still in med school?

 

[denver]

Golding proves he is not a head coach... passive when he gets ahead and loses the game. No pressure on an experienced QB...SEC let this be our representative because a QB has his highlight game in the quarter final..he could not do that again because it was a one off...

 

[bvandegraff]

It’d be interesting to see how many 23-yr-olds or older are playing on these last CFP teams.

 

[Tide-one-on]

Very good game! Enjoyed it

 

[bamamc1]

so golding finally showed up...zero pressure on the QB..absolute idiot

At least that absolute idiot stayed and coached those kids and didn’t run away like a crackhead and go to lsu. What he and those players endured is unbelievable.

 

[editder]

Goldings D gave up way too many 3rd and 7+ first downs again. We've seen that before.

I’m just glad he’s spreading the wealth.

 

[denver]

i still dont understand why coaches sit back and don't force QBs to try to play under pressure..it has never worked to sit back.. Golding is a moron

Congratulations on your participation trophy

Just read through the comments and it looks like Gol*ing did what we all saw way too many times.

Make no mistake, he did EXACTLY what he was told to do.

He’s unparalleled at screwing his team out of playoff wins.

Congratulations on your participation trophy

I’m sitting here with a college championship ring on. Would love to see yours.

 

[Cruloc]

That’s a freaking disgrace.

What does that make him...24.....25?

Well, I don't know. He would have picked up another $500K if they would have won it all.

For Bama? Awesome regardless!

He’s unparalleled at screwing his team out of playoff wins.

Including The University of Alabama

I know one thing. I don’t think there was a single holding call all game. Number 70 for Miami made a living doing it tonight. If that was Kaden Proctor for us, they would have thrown the flag about a dozen times.
