Al Golden's Pattern of Under Achievement

Advertisement
This team wasn't even preseason top 25. Although the preseason top 25 is pretty baseless, there's a reason we weren't on there. These expectations didn't exist until we were 7 and 0. I'm not defending the coaching but to speak as if expectations were high to start the season is silly.

Look at these predictions and say we didn't underachieve this year. Most have us winning from 10 or 11 games with an ACCCG appearance. There are a few homers thrown in there that predicted undefeated, but there are few posters who predicted 3 regular season losses or more. Like I said though, most had us going to the ACCCG.

For the 2014 season we should have an expectations thread and put it as a post it at the top. People moving the goal posts because the coaches didn't lead us where most and should have expected to be which was winning the coastal and playing in the ACCCG.

Jason Whitlock was critical of the Al Golden hire b/c he said that even though his Temple team had the most talent in the Mac Conference he still couldnt get it done to win the conference. The main thing Whitlock criticized was Golden's weakness as a Game day manager as being the main reason he underachieved at Temple. When Miami fans heard the audio, most of us were saying well Temple is Temple that's why they didnt win and Miami has more talent so that wont be an issue.

So the first 2 years Miami fans, including myself, did something unprecedented which was accept that this team wasnt going to be any good for 2 years in a row and allowed the "NCAA cloud" and the "Shannon era" excuses to overshadow what is really going on in this program.

Heading into this season, Al Golden's 3rd year..... knowing things like Miami is going to play the weakest schedule it has ever had, most of the Miami fans in the world had "hope" that this team was "on the Golden road to a title." Not saying winning the big show or even playing in it was the expectation but the expectation was to see a team on the field looking like it's on the way to being elite.

The only 2 games that most of us were saying was acceptable losses was the Florida and FSU game.... virtually all of us said that there is no way Miami should lose to ANY team in the Coastal this year. \

The ACC media had us picked to win the Coastal... the fans believed in Golden and early in the season you could see that being evident b/c there were more fans at the FAU game then it was at any home game during the season last year, besides the FSU game.

That showed that the fan base had hope in this team.... all of that started to change after the UNC game. Miami had 3 home games after that (WF,VT,UVa) and all 3 games the seats were getting more and more empty in the stadiums, which is what happens when the fanbase no longer believes in the coach.

We all said that there was NO EXCUSES for Miami losing to any team in the Coastal this year, but to lose in the embarrassing way that we did to an average VT and Duke team is even more unacceptable.

Now lets comeback full circle w/ the topic of underachieving.... this is now Al Goldens 2nd time where he has been in charge of a program that did not meet expectations.... Temple he didnt get it done w/ the best talent in the MAC, and now in Goldens 3rd year, after all the leeway the Miami fan base has given him, the Coastal was gift wrapped w/ a bow on top and he still failed to get it done.

Now Golden on one side of his mouth, has said a number of times that he doesnt want the standard that was set at Miami to change and he wants to meet those standards while on the other side, cries about "not being back and the team is still building" after losing to Duke smh.....

Miami fans, who have lowered their standards for Al Golden, continue to make excuses as well, so my point is when does Al Golden and his Temple staff finally start being held accountable for underachieving?... when is it no longer the NCAA's fault, Randy Shannon's fault, The players fault for not being good enough, Matthew Thomas's and Alex Collins fault for not going to Miami???

When will it be time for Al Golden to start feeling the heat and pressure of having to meet the standards of a top tier BCS program?... b/c so far all he is doing is collecting 2 million dollar a year pay checks b/c he says the right things in front of a camera, when all he has done is under achieve and make excuses.

You have gone full blown ****** now. Congrats.

Like almost all on fringes of any issue, in an attempt to prove your argument, all you achieve is destroying any semblance of credibility.

Lol you can tell who the clowns are on this site that i'm talking about above.... smh obvious and expected.

they cant even address the issue, as soon as u criticize Al Golden justifiably they come out w/ one delusional unclear rant after the other.

"blahblahblah ur an idiot blahblahblah Golden is my hero" lmaooo gtfoh

when are you guys going to learn, if your delusional mind agrees w/ the likes of sebastian, big sky, ilovelamp, dghustla and the rest of the Golden excuse makers then you are on the wrong side of the argument as always.

These were the same clowns mad at me a few weeks ago when i said that D'onofrio should be fired smh pathetic.... but they dont mind posting one retarded thread after the other about how the players arent good enough to beat Duke and VT and Golden needs another 5 years to turn this thing around like some biches in heat waiting for Golden to stick em. smh so sad.

Here is where WTH will come in with his class rankings and how we compared to some of the teams who beat us. Granted he is going with the rankings that still have players that either didn't qualify, went prep and somewhere else or quit team after a year, like AJL, Prince Kent, Bond, Griffen, Grooms, Eddie to name a handful, but hey who is counting right!?!

Great post, man.

Attrition and grade causalities never happen at any other program. I was actually just reading about this the other day - it's really fascinating. No other program in the country experiences anything like this. Every signed recruit not only makes it in, but stays all four years. It's only at Miami that some kids don't make it or wash out of the program.

If I was Al Golden I'd hand you a juice box and rustle your hair for that post. Way to work hard out there, that's all that matters.

They've improved every year since Golden arrived. If Miami can win the next two and finish with a great recruiting class.... look out. Miami will be pretty legit come next year. 2014 is what I forecasted a couple of years ago as the, "Miami returns," year.

I bet if Miami wins on Friday 52-3 you would still find a way to **** about them giving up 3 points....

So tell me great zone!!! If you were coach what would you do??? how would you run this team??? hows come your not coaching anywhere if you seem to know it all and have it all figured out??

If I was the coach at Miami, this team wouldnt lose to Duke or VT and definitely not get blown out by them...... that just shows how incompetent and pathetic of a Head Coach Al Golden is. smh terrible

and if u think that Fridays game is going to be 52-3 then you really are guzzling down too much of that Golden juice.

If you were coach of team we would have lost to Florida, Wake and NC as you have constanly shown you don't know your *** from a hole in the ground.
