Pete Golding didn't just coach a football team; he saved a season.
To take over in that chaos and lead a Cinderella run to the brink of a National Championship is incredible work.
Be proud of Ole Miss. They found their identity, and more importantly, they found their coach.
Really no words to describe how proud I am of this team. Incredible group of young men. It hurts tonight but these guys will never be forgotten. Hold your heads high gentlemen! @OleMissFB@CoachGolding 🔴🔵
Hey @stephenasmith personally inviting you to Oxford to get the real story about who we are! You’l have the best time of your life. We’ll send the plane to get you. Come see what everyone knows about this special place! @OleMissFB#openinvitation#hottytoddy
From Oxford to Tupelo…Rebel fans are showing out for the Ole Miss football team! These fans gathered outside the Tupelo Regional Airport to send off the team as they head for the Fiesta Bowl!
Pete Golding just became an Ole Miss legend.
He took over a hurting fan base and has them on a full‑blown Cinderella run.
One of the most down‑to‑earth, easy‑to‑root‑for coaches in the country.
America is pulling for him.
No one deserved this win more tonight than Ole Miss Director of Athletics Keith Carter.
He caught the game-winning field goal kicked by Lucas Carneiro, as seen by the video from @brandonkwhite32.
