Golding Says This Ole Miss DB Reminds Him of an Alabama Player | Rebels preparing for Louisville

Michael Borkey asked Pete Golding a question I've never heard anybody ask a coach — and Golding gave a name. Which is unheard of in modern college athletics.   IN THIS EPISODE: 🎯 "Is there a player you HAVEN'T been asked about that we should be asking about?" Golding said yes, a couple of guys are going to be elite — and then named Edwin Joseph. As good as any defensive back he's been around in a long time. Versatility, very quick twitch, a knack for the football. And then he said Joseph reminds him of somebody he's coached before — and wouldn't say the name. Golding was Alabama's defensive coordinator. I'm not putting a name in his mouth he didn't say himself.   📌 Four months, and nobody else. We've had Joseph in the argument on this show since Ole Miss bought four Power 4 starters for that secondary — the spending segment, the NFL draft segment, the Pick Six segment. He hasn't been a national story and he's barely been a local one. Nobody asked Golding about him; Golding said so himself. When a coach volunteers a name nobody asked for, that's the least filtered thing he says all week.   🏈 Why it matters: Miami was better on the line of scrimmage partly because Ole Miss was protecting the back end. But the thing that actually decided that game was a coverage bust and a missed tackle in the secondary. Pick Six has Ole Miss defensive backs 7th in the SEC — the only unit outside its own league's top five. The head coach just pointed at the answer.   📋 19 drives, and "most games are lost, not won." Across every one of them, every explosive play on offense and every negative play on defense came from a bust or a mental error — not a contested rep. Stack that with Bryan Brown saying the scrimmage was in the stadium with no coaches on the field, and you have two coaches describing the same finding from two chairs.   🗓️ And the detail nobody caught: they're scrimmaging on Sundays — because the first game is on a Sunday. This staff is resetting the entire rhythm of a game week in the middle of August. Plus four words on the AP poll worth memorizing, and why Golding sounds like a man who isn't overlooking Louisville.   Credit to Michael Borkey and SuperTalk Mississippi for the interview — and for the question.   🚨 THE OLE MISS HUB IS LIVE AUGUST 24 — the show, Locked On Ole Miss Hits, the Everyday Club, the private Discord, the newsletter free to everybody at noon, daily links every morning and show reviews.
