Golden:
22-15
Avg Schedule strength: 53
Espn avg class rank: 10
Golden has a bunch of dudes in love because he was well-spoken at his presser. He's formal Randy Shannon.
Not sure what you're trying prove with this comparison except that you're incapable of thinking in abstract and can only digest information on a concrete basis. Typical analysis of a low level thinker.
Looking deeper into that comparison unveils a coach who came in at a disadvantage compared to his predecessor since he didn't know players the players he inherited, unlike Shannon who knew what he was inheriting. Did'n't have the recruiting contacts and relationships built.
Had the disadvantage of a major scandal the would rock the program for 3 critical years blow up in his face 2 weeks before his 1st game.
Had to deal with uncertainty, suspensions, that the NCAA investigations brought and not to mention the negative recruiting that ensued.
Had to deal with the ongoing investigations of his players and resulting low player moral when it was revealed that school would self impose 2 bowl bans. Had to deal with the not getting the benefit of the extra practice time and experience younger players would have gotten had they not self imposed the said bowl bans while his main acc competition did.
Mind you the above Shannon did not have to deal with and yet Golden has a better overall record and can be argued that has pulled better classes.
So no, he's not a formal Randy. THINK beyond what's in front of your face.
Low Level Thinker? Everything you list above is the drivel of an infantile sycophant-- I give reasons-- in response, YOU pander and provide nothing more than a litany of excuses. You're delusional. I could answer every "excuse" you list above, but I won't bother. You're incapable of logical thought or simple deduction.
As our program teeters on the brink of irrelevance, you fiddle while Rome burns.
For the record I made not even a tangential reference to Randy Shannon. But for all his faults, he still fielded a team that actually played defense. So good luck spinning that.
In the coming 2014 season, as we flounder, you'll climb further out on the limb with more facile excuses.
In 2015, when things still don't improve, you'll feel the despondence and disillusionment that many here realized after the Va Tech debacle, and you'll be embarrassed and fade your *** into the word work, not speaking so boldly, as your tail will be between your legs and your foot firmly planted in your mouth-- as you come to the realization that everything the dissenters here predicted was actually true.
You'll finally wake up and realize what many here have already concluded, but in your feckless manner, you wont admit it; you'll offer more weak, hopeful, forward-looking statements, assuring all is not lost and we can still turn things around with another good recruiting class-- b/c that's your cover, it fits your narrative and inoculates you from admitting your blind loyalty devoid of critical thinking, which will by that time have been firmly dispelled.
The bottom line, this sorry excuse for a head coach had the dream cup cake schedule and still managed to bungle it. The schedule won't ever be as forgiving as it was this year. We could have top 5 recruiting classes 3 years running, and b/c Al Golden has reached the ceiling of his abilities, coupled with his stubborn intransigence, and inflexibility, and refusal to fire his DC who by any empirical analysis cannot coach defense, he will continue to run this program into the ground.
Who's the low-level thinker now? You're weak, and emblematic of everything that's wrong with the mentality of this program and administration.
Don't go away mad... just go away.
