Folks really need to calm down... I don't think he's going anywhere. He is going to have to do some internal stuff to gain trusts back but he knows he has to get this situation under control.

Regardless of his career, the man made a very poor decision and it's really good the worse thing that came out of it was a DUI on his part. It could have been "Henry Ruggs" bad where multiple lives are destroyed. IMO, he should count his blessings, learn from it and move on in a better direction.
@PurlJam completely agree. This could have been a devastating life impacting event for multiple families. This guy is very fortunate and there should be and will be consequences. This will be a topic for any future employment. Sure he can recover long term but he has to answer the hard questions in the meantime. He will not get a pass since a lot of people were already on the fence about his coaching ability. Like it or not that is the way it is. Peoples pain threshold is directly proportional to how well he does his job.

You know....it wouldnt be a bad idea to step away temporarily....a year or so...
I know a coach doesn't want to lose his place.......but
Stuff does go away......( see Jones arrest as a freshman)....
DUI is serious shit....as poor a decision as a person can make is to drive that intoxicated...... will be used against him....will be talked about.....
He can regroup....

Henry Ruggs and assistant Coach at KC Chiefs...
Man....i have preached this to my kids....so many times....
Getting stopped and arrested is minor as to what can really happen...

I got popped for it when I was in college. At that age I honestly don't think you understand potential consequences, especially when you don't have anything to lose for lack of a better term. I say that loosely as in most college aged kids don't have a family or job that would be affected. Once I started my family, a couple of years after that I then realized just how stupid a decision it was. I just couldn't imagine making that kind of mistake now that I have children and see how it could affect a kid, something I wasn't seeing as a selfish college kid. I rarely drink anymore and I never even have a beer out at dinner because I don't want to get behind the wheel with my kids in the car, even after one. I have drank a beer out maybe twice in the last ten years with my kids there and let my wife drive home both times.
Golding? I can't honestly think of a good word to describe his decision. Get some runt walk on to pick your ass up if it came to it. Make those guys drive like fraternities do pledges, ha ha. How can he honestly go into a recruit's home now and talk about integrity and answer a momma's question about setting a good example and taking care of her baby boy?
I'm glad we didn't cut Mac Jones loose after his DUI.

Big difference between a kids decision and an adults... see @BamaFan334 post...he hit it...
Can remember some really stupid things i did as a kid/adult... thinking back i get sweaty even now...
But...I agree....glad Mac straightened up...and nick stuck with him

Was this the first time he had driven while under the influence and was just unlucky enough to get caught on his first time?
That seems highly unlikely. Could drinking and driving be a common thing with him?

First time DUI or first time caught? That could be the difference if he gets to stay or is asked to leave.

Dont see him staying.
1.... he isnt that good a DC
2..... right. First time caught or first time dui
3......character matters. Certainly a blimish
4......and wasnt right at limit. Well over to be kept overnight.
Nick will sort out. And do whats best for young man and football program
As much as this will sound like a double standard, Mac was just a kid. Peter Golding, on the other hand SHOULD know better. He is a coach and a leader of young men. It sounds like a double standard, yes. However, leaders are held to a higher standard
Wouldn't surprise me if it turns out that this is just the tip of the iceberg with him
