this is also note butch davis' Miami.. this is Miami post Coker and Shannon.. none of that was going to get fixed with 2 recruiting classes.
Coker and Shannon have nothing to do with the product that is put on the field and how it's coaches. It's year 3 for Golden and people still like to bring up former coaches. You have no idea how weak that sounds. There is no way you played football talking like that.
Here's the problem. The previous coach, directly affects the next coach, why? Because the next coach still has to use those players.. People were blaming coker for shannon's downfalls well into year 4 and they weren't even taking into consideration that randy was on that staff recruiting the players shannon had to use.. the point is.. 8+ years of futility isn't going to get fixed in 2 recruiting classes, especially when the previous coach not only recruited poorly, and didn't develop well..
Here's the problem with your post. You mentioned Coker as well as Shannon. None of cokers players are here. Most of Shannon's guys are gone. This past year most of the offense was made up of Shannon guys mostly. If golden is this great recruiter that you claim why can't Goldens guys surplant these players? Doesn't make any sense. Either you're a fool or Golden is or both.
I also find it hard to believe that anyone was blaming Coker for Shannon's issues in year 4. If one or two people did, it doesn't make it right for you to do it for Golden. Its stupid no matter how you look at it or what excuse you come with.
Don't act like Shannon didn't leave any talent for Golden cause he did. You like the nfl as a barometer right. Compare the players from Miami and Boston college and tell me whcich team had the most talent? I doubt you have the guts to do it. You can add Maryland in their too and make sure you include the suspensions.
Your excuses are going to run into each other and you will end up making yourself look real dumb.
