Based on what? Be specific, omit nothing. You can't hang your hat on "improvement over the course of a season" after the late collapse when UF wasn't even competitive.
i like the defense and offensive philosophies hes employing. i like how he and the team dont get caught off guard in single possession situations near the end of the half or game. i like the metrics approach and preparadness that we see. we dont have much talent, and hes going to need to change that in order to be successful but he appears to me to be a solid coach with a good feel for the game.
But we know where you're going with this. You want to contrast everything against coach potaters b/c he gives you wood. Well, basicaly, what i see from potaters is essentially the opposite of what i just stated about golden. pretty good crootin, everything else looks suspect, especially game prep and in game decisions.
Hopefully you'll be right and i'll be wrong so we can watch you continue to take the high road
