Pete Golding's words might not be the best news for Ole Miss football entering the College Football Playoff week as the No. 6 team.
When Lane Kiffin bailed on the Rebels right before their CFP run, the most concerning question was not who would replace Kiffin, but how the play-calling would look in the CFP.
Play-calling duties still remain unsorted
It has been about 10 days since Golding took over the head coaching reins, and unfortunately, the question still remains.
"Well, we’re going to look at it. We’re going to give us what our best chance is to win the football game," Golding said in his first press conference as the Rebels' head coach.
Golding worked his magic and lured OC Charlie Weis Jr. back to handle the offensive play-calling duties, so that was a slight relief. However, does Golding handle the visor from the sideline or will he be up there in the box?
If Golding does stay on the grass, then who replaces him in the box? Could the replacement call as better plays as Golding did for the Rebels in the regular season?
All these are the questions that Golding says Ole Miss will "figure out "as they go.
"There’s benefits to be able to see them in their eyes and see where they’re at. And there’s benefits to being upstairs. And sometimes you feel like you’re a play ahead. But we’re going to do you got two. We got two weeks to make sure, we got the best plan in place for our team to give us our best chance. So we’ll see where that goes. I’m not making any decisions on that right now," Golding continued.
"I’ve called plays in the box. I’ve called plays on the floor. Obviously. You know, all five years at Alabama. I called it on the grass. My first year here, I called it on the grass. To me, once you went to helmet communication, and the tablets to where they actually get to see the video on the sideline, there’s benefits to both."
It's not Golding that's to question; it's how he sets the rest of the staff up when his first game is literally the one with the highest stakes Ole Miss has ever played.
And as Golding put it, we'll only know "where it goes."
