13 - 11 in ACC play. Unacceptable.
It's funny to me that posters here praise Golden for his recruiting and bash him for his game day coaching. Sounds pretty familiar to me. Been through this before and I'll take the results - if they're anything close to what Butch accomplished - I'll be thrilled.
At this point, with the team unranked and finishing the season 9-3, I don't think it's unreasonable to pause and recognize that while its not there yet, progress is being made over the dumpster fire that Randy left.
13 QB=09 QB
13 RB > 09 RB
13 O line = 09 O line
13 WR > 09 WR
13 TE < 09 TE
13 D line <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 09 D line
13 LB <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 09 LB
13 DB = 09 DB
13 team << 09 team
13 QB=09 QB
13 RB > 09 RB
13 O line = 09 O line
13 WR > 09 WR
13 TE < 09 TE
13 D line <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 09 D line
13 LB <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 09 LB
13 DB = 09 DB
13 team << 09 team
NOPE
13 team > or = 09 team but they underachieved against the weakest schedule in Miami history.
Al Goldoritos is the reason for that
Al Golden failed this year, and if Miami doesnt win the Coastal next year and have a legit shot at winning the ACC, then he should be FIRED..... THE END.
Look man the guy is a great recruiter and great leader for the program, media wise. He's still mediocre as a gameday coach. I believe in him solely based on the classes he's bringing in that talent will overcome his shortcomings as a gameday coach.. Yea he's 11-3 in his last 14 games.. 4 of the teams are 500 or better.. FAU, GT, UNC,Pitt,. With Pitt 6-6, FAU 6-6, GT, 7-4, UNC 6-5...

This is becoming eerily similar to Shannon's third year.
When will they learn down in Coral Gables

See here's the thing - Al Golden is doing what fans have been screaming about for years i.e. improving the U brand and locking down SoFl. He's made huge strides in both of those areas.
If he continues to recruit like he has then we'll be back. If you take the best talent in SoFl and put it together on one team you're going to have a juggernaut.
As for being a poor gameday coach - I just don't see it. He's in charge of time outs, going for it on 4th down etc. He makes smart, sensible decisions most of the time. Sure he could be a little more aggressive, but it's his job on the line, not yours. He clearly hands over the reigns of the O and the D to his coordinators, so he can't be blamed for their shortcomings.
His only fault, so far, is retaining the services of his best man who is clearly in over his head. That could be his downfall unfortunately.

if he keeps recruiting like he is we will be back very soon. defense problems are on the defensive line and linebackers partially scheme but i think the infusion of talent that comes in will cover that up i hope but go canes
what about his ACC record?
13 - 11
