Alabama coach Nick Saban is famous for doling out sideline “ass-chewings” when he has disagreements with his assistants.
Lane Kiffin was on the receiving end of a few of them, and current DC Pete Golding has also gotten his fair share of them.
On Monday, Golding was asked about those ass-chewings and what it’s like to be on the receiving end of them. Here’s what he said (via 247Sports):
“Obviously, I think when you invest as much Coach Saban invests into this program and into football and things like that, when something doesn’t get executed, doesn’t go the way it is supposed to go, you’re frustrated. Like we all are. It’s no different. That’s part of it. That’s in any job, any boss, obviously, when you don’t get the result you’re expecting that you should get, obviously that’s going to come down on whoever is responsible for that. As it should be.
“So, I mean, that ain’t nothing new. Whether it’s my dad growing up, my mom, that’s expected. When something doesn’t go as it should, right, then obviously there’s consequences for it. I think it’s just kind of a motivation speech at that time. Let’s get them going, let’s roll.”
Will Golding avoid any ass-chewings during the Playoff? We’ll find out on New Year’s Day!
