Enough is a enough

[NVA CANE]

He's not just going to have to give up on his good friend, but his own philosophy. Golden has the upmost faith in this scheme he's molded from his years around football. I don't know if Golden would be able to swallow that much pride. It not very often you see a former defensive coordinator turned head coach give up on his own scheme and bring in a guy with his very own philosophy.

Even when this scheme is having success its never going to be popular. I never forget a big thread on the Temple board when Addazio came in. They called Chuck Heaters attacking scheme a breath a fresh air. This is coming from a fan base that hadn't even seen a successful defense before Golden.

Its stuff like this that blows your mind as to how soft and how much trouble we are in if golden doesn't open his eyes

Someone please tell me all of this good that Golden has supposedly done. Guessing it will be a list of things that have nothing to do with winning football games, which at the end of the day is his job to do.

All i hear is how much Golden has done for us. Like what exactly?

1- Speak intelligible English.
2- Sell the program
3- Recognize a lame *** S&C/nutrition program and improve it
4- Recruit reasonably well under ****** as **** circumstances....including salvaging a disasterous 2011 Shannon ****ed recruiting class.
5- Hold the entire organization together under the NCAA investigation
6- Repair the damaged recruiting relationships with local high schools
7- Has timeouts at the end of games (Hallelujah)
8- Mercifully, speaks intelligible English.

Yep a list of things that have nothing to do with winning games like i thought. Those timeouts really come in handy down by 21. He sounds like he'd make a great Athletic Director or Director of Football Operations though. HC....not so much.

See, you Shannon fanboy numbnutz still dont understand that a head coach needs to be versed in alot of areas.....and it has as much to do with winning as what goes on on the field. If things are not in sync on and off the field, you wont have a successful program.

I've only seen a couple idiots and Randy loyalists that want Golden fired. Golden has done tremenedous things for us. He has been masterful in virtually every aspect of improving the team and program. Unfortuantey, putting a quality defense on the filed is not one of them. Something is wrong and nothing has improved it. The UF game fooled me. I thought we were finally hitting and tackling, but it arrears now that the gator just sucks really bad. I love Golden and have defended him every step of the way, but VT actually looked bad on Saturday with many mistakes and still crushed us. 1st year, forget--NCAA bomb. 2nd year, all lazy Randy players left early, so ok we were young. FSU this year, ok they might have a NC team. But game 9 against a VT that just lost to two chump teams and we get our rears beat like little girls--NO. Something is wrong. I don't like this defense and Al needs to either make it work FAST, start to abandon it for something better, or bring in coaches that can actually make it work because he and Mark cannot.

I think Al might, when it is all said and done, be the best HC we have ever had. But his defense, the way it is played, stinks at this level. I believe this is Al's defense, so I don't know if blaming Mark is the way to go. At this point, either way, Al has to belly up and accept the blame and make it right -- no promises, just do it. When Randy was here the players got worse as time went on. Has anyone seen Fig make a big hit the last few weeks? AQM? Maybe it is the water in Coral Gables.

I wanted to fire Coaker in the third year when he lost 2 games with all those 1st round draft picks. It would be a disaster to fire Al, but by the same token, his status as god must be taken away. These players, coaches, and system are not working together. I am not being paid millions to figure out why or what to do about it, but Al is! Fix the players, the coaches or the system. I'll give him a pass on the offense this year, new OC, QB crippled, apparently back up not worth a crap, lost fastest WR, lost one of best players in college football last week and so on. But for the D, no hall pass. Not this year. Tackling should not STILL be a problem. ****, I think DP even missed a tackle on that 3rd and long conversion into a TD. Al, find the problem, fix the problem before you become the problem.

Get the **** outta here. I was one of the 1st people who called for Shannon to be fired, and everybody on Grassy was killing me for it so don't dare call me a ******* Shannon fanboy

A coaches job is to win foremost. If he does everything else well but is a failure at the most important part of his job then what good is he?

Golden has had front row to this dumpster fire with Dorito

- Through our last 5 games (All ACC games) we are allowing an average of 465 yards per game

- Good for 109th in the country

- During that 5 game stretch, we are allowing 31.4 points per game.

- Good for 93rd in the country.

- We are averaging allowing 7.6 out of 15 attempts of 3rd downs to be converted a game

- 119th in the country

- We have sacked the QB an average of 1.8 times a game

- 76th in the country

Instead of Al talking through it with Mark and blaming the players, your post should be printed out on Mark's desk with Al's writing saying "See me now and come prepared to explain this grease fire"

Would you blast your best friend in the media? Al knows what the fans are saying, even if he was going to fired D he wouldn't do it in the media first. Why add more fuel to our fire and put his best friend on front street when he can do it be hind close doors?
