I still want to keep Golden - FOR THE RECORD!

We barely beat UNC because Morris went full ****** and threw an @ssload of picks.

Its amazing how people just cant be objective when they go overboard with bullsh*t. Now the team was utter garbage. We still managed to go 9-4, in Division 1 football, and in the ACC. Something we hadnt done in SOME years. So it couldnt have been THAT f8cking bad. I mean we were ranked in the top 25 for half the season. And guess what f*cknuts, that included the COACHES poll, so many HCs out there felt we were more than just a pile of dogsh*t. There were FSU players after the game in Tally saying we were the best team they had played and that we played them **** tough.

Look, this doesnt have to be one extreme or the other. No one is claiming this was some superstar team with Duke. BUT, Duke was the heart and soul of the offense, and our best player on either side of the ball, anyone claiming that losing him was not DEVASTATING, is full of SH*T. Period. And Im not claiming that we would have won 11 games if Duke doesnt get hurt, but I think we would have been much more competitive in those games. I think we have a decent shot to beat VT and Duke. No running game = fast paced offense all on SM's shoulders, which led to the defense being on the field the whole game. A terrible defense at that.

Things are going to be a LOT better next year. Getting Duke back, having Yearby, and Gus with a year of experience and another offseason of working out and learning the offense, will give us a LOT more depth at the position than we had this year. Throw in Powell in situational work, and our offense has MUCH deeper dimensions than it did this year. I also think RW is going to give the offense many more options, utilizing the TE more, the flats, the middle of the field, throwing to our backs, slot guys, and be able to get first downs.

If we can just get the **** defense fixed, I think this team will be very competitive.

No one here is claiming AG is some great coach, or that he's definitely going to win big here. But we have a lot of talent coming in. Talent that we simply DID not have before. At WORST, I hope that AG may be able to leave this team as stocked as Butch did. Because frankly, all the b*tching and sH8t people here are saying, are the same things people were saying about Butch in 98 and 99.

They said the same thing last year. Plenty returning and our D got worst. Golden has been given 3 years no expectations, after this saga, he has to earn it. And am sorry people don't blindly believe in a coach, there are signs that make u see the eventuality. There is nothing we can hang our hat on for No D. We do nothing well on D. No defense that fields, Deon Bush, Tracy Howard, Gunter, McCord, AQM, Chickillo, Perryman, Jenkins should ever be this bad.....ever ever. Those guys were recruited by everyone and their mommy. Thats a failure on the coaches. No defense has 11 stars. Some of the guys are just guys who know where to be and do the small things right. We are not bad, or average, or below average. we are terrible, simply atrocious. You would have us think just time and another offseason is gonna fix it, sorry they used that card last year when we returned almost everyone on defense. And to not be even respectable with that many returners is inexcuseable. You can act as if fans know nothing and are just unreasonable and that is disingenuos. We go to games and sit there, taking time from work, paying our hard earn money....however few we are. We have seen great defense, and bad at Miami. None of reach the levels of lowness with even less talent and more sanctions..... even under said Butch that you referenced. Who had a team that was actually under actual Sanctions, crippling ones. Our situation was bad for recruiting, thats it. Al Golden is not some high dude above criticism, he his a coach looking out for his buddy and his family. And he will high tail out of here just as any coach would. The way he has developed this cult following is mind numbing. Not even coaches who have actually done and won things don't enjoy that. He has not achieved anything here or anywhere. Simply hanging around his not enough. Performances have to count. And for every Butch Davis there are 5 Ron Zooks

Most of the guys you posted were DBs. Team cant field a defense of all DBs. We have no talent along the DL, AQM was a true Frosh. How many True Frosh making a big impact on the DL anywhere? As far as returning, our LB corps was totally DECIMATED when we lost EJ, Terry and Paul. Bush was also coming back from a major injury and was never 100% all year. And top that off with the fact that just having talented starters, which we didnt at many positions, doesnt get you through a whole season, but you need DEPTH. Without DEPTH, the wheels come off late in the year, when your best guys are hurt, tired, and cant keep playing at their best. Kind of like how our defense fell apart late in the year. Guys like Highsmith and Gaines were barely Division I level players, and were starting for us. That's a sign you have a major personnel/talent problem. No one is saying we dont have schematic/coaching issues, but this was a very thin, and untalented defense. What talent we have is mostly young except for 2 guys, one of which was being used in the wrong position, because we dont have anyone else any better. Lets not go into drooling idiot mode now and start suggesting that this was anything but a mess of a defense as far as talent goes.

The atrocity that is our defense. None of what u said explain it. They were terrible as soon as we entered conference play. You know after the sav st fau usf etc. U know when No D and Golden were beating their chest about defensive improvements. Out coached by WF and GT at home. No depth problems and fatigue. And it continued all season with the exclamation of the trouncing by UL. And like I said we are not bad we are atrocious. Rap your mind around that concept. Atrocious, 2 years in a row. Cant stop a QB that can throw a ball forward. Everybody turns into Brady against us. Commentators calling things out which we proceed to do and get killed. No D is gonna get fired. Having him here is just wasting time to that eventuality and more than likely taking Golden with him. The funny thing is some of u cry over peopeople attacking Golden but have no problem stating how garbage highsmith, gaines and cornelius are. Like I said Cult following.

Its "attacking" Highsmith, Gaines and Cornelius by pointing out their lack of talent? Gaines' best offer other than UM was from Buffalo. Highsmith was a legacy. I dont think its "attacking" them to simply point out their lack of skill. I dont think they are bad guys, and they tried hard, but we saw what they were. I dont think there is anything wrong with legit criticism of Golden. But this has become a non stop sh*tshow of people name calling and insulting and spewing venom about everything the guy says or does. There is room for plenty of legit criticism, but everything now is just idiotic complaining and looking for anything to trash the staff. Its way over the top.
 
Its the same thing when people are putting up the statistics of the defense No D has coached here. You know simple facts. No D is as bad a coach as highsmith and Gaines are players. Our players have looked worse and worse . All since you been watching Miami there were two things you could count on our D for. Getting sacks and getting tfls. As soon as Golden and No D show up it magically disappears.....immediately. NOTHING to do with talent, quit lying. Clemson amd FSU are the only two teams who wouldn't take 70% of our roster. Golden is not Butch brah, he is Ron Zook. He will get jobs as a good communicator and when found out he will run for the hills like he tried to do and couldnt even own up to it. Whatever is coaching deficiencies all respect went out the door and am just waiting it out. Quote me on that.

Tbh, for what this man did to lead the athletic department through the entire shapiro 3 year ****-storm, while loosing players to draft and transfers, Al Golden deserves 5 years. We have no idea what the defense will look like once we have "stocked the shelves" top to bottom with talented players. He was dealt a bad hand to begin with, ontop of the incredible media coverage they have down in coral gables.
If the D continues to fail then hes got to let Dno go. His mentorship to kids who have their odds stacked against them since past generations arrived is a blessing in disguise.
I say 5 years
recruit the best you can...which has started "upward trend" atleast with the established postitons
deon bush
duke
waters
allen hurns
TH3
cant wait to see Carter and Grace next year
maybe a lil Chad and Valentine??

We have not witnessed the full extent of what this man can accomplish....
 
For the record, if GoRldon doesn't fire his ****head BFF, we'll be lucky not to go 6-6 next year. ****** pad their stats against this D and we're gonna start winning 'ships? LMGDAO. OP Chokesondix done got ***** poisoning and his head ain't right.
 
The guy could win the ACC next season and most people would say he played a weak schedule or the defense only had but to go up. Or some other dumb excuse. I think the injury to Duke Johnson severely under played by Miami fans. I can only think of one team that could such a dynamic player as Duke and rebound. That being the '01 canes team. I honestly believe if Duke remained healthy we'd have won 11games and played FSU in Charlotte. But I don't see some bigger picture right?

Say what? Duke is a real good player, but he doesn't play defense. How the **** was he gonna stop Duke (the team) rushing for 350+ yards? ****, some of y'all are delusional.
 
Im pro-golden as well.. Its just a vocal minority whos against him

Vocal MINORITY? If I recall, there was a poll on this very website that ran for 3 days, and at last look it was 54% for Golden-- LEAVING.

How blind can you be? You really think this HC, his DC, and this program are "trending-up?"

Wake up.

I'm still riding with Golden, but D'o has to go ASAP. And that's not happening. So idk what the **** to think.
 
Have mixed emotions about him staying so you get a half point from me

Well, I'll go on record as a definitive "nay."

I just don't know what YOU saw this year with our cupcake schedule, that would come EVEN CLOSE to instilling you with such optimism and confidence we could remotely compete for the "whole **** thing" anytime, EVER-- with Golden and his handpicked, best friend, bulletproof Defensive Coordinator he refuses to cut loose.

GOD bless you Tex, but I'm supremely confident you will not only be "wrong," but sadly disappointed and frustrated as me come 2015.

I think with this recruiting class (when they are sophomores), that 2015 is our year. Yes, people have been saying for years "next year is the year" but just take a look at this recruiting class... so many of our needs have been met (assuming they sign with UM)... we will have three real possible starters at QB next year... our O-line is set for the future... assuming Duke stays another two years, we are set there for the next 4 years at RB... and our incoming class (with Valentine) on the defense has to be top 5. I feel good about this team and this coach.

TX-- It doesn't matter how much "talent" we bring in, this coaching staff cannot coach them up. The defensive scheme is horrible, the production on the field is horrible. Coley may be able to recruit but he cant game plan or make in game adjustments while calling the game to save his life. No on the job training here, sorry.

Q: How many of your "if's" have to go right for this to actually happen!? (HINT- ALL of them). Valentine is 50% at best-- and I haven't seen or heard anything that leads me to believe you Golden boy has done squat since his 3 day radio silence to get this kid back in the fold. Al is many things, and an okay coach, but he isn't what we expect or need, and to me he's reach his ceiling--- he'll get us 8-9 wins and lose (in an ugly fashion) to legitimate teams, and we'll continue to struggle against teams we should clearly dominate. Because he and his ill prepared staff will be outcoached like they were 5-6 games this year with our cup cake schedule.

I could go on & on, but you're entitled to your opinion. I shake my head and wonder what it is you see and I don't. HOPE is not a plan Tex.
 
I'll support him for 2014. We need to make it at least to the ACCCG or go in a different direction in 2015.

Dorito is just a pawn. This is Al's team and Al's defense. Al's the clown. Dorito's just the floppy shoes.

regardless of whether or not it's al's scheme. dorito calls the blitzes, dorito calls in adjustments, dorito is in charge of personnel on defense, dorito calls in certain formations according to offensive alignment. Al (as long with any other head coach) just gives the coach a guideline to try to stick to.
 
OL plays like trash
DL plays like trash and is trash
LB play is mediocore
Scheme sucks

...but losing Duke was what kept us from 10-11 wins. The sunshine crowd has officially gone full potato.

lol @ 11 wins

We were lucky to get to 9 if you want to be honest with yourself. Two 4th quarter, under 2 minute drives to eek out wins against inferior talent.

How INFERIOR was that talent? You know that UNC "talent" was recruited by Butch, while what we have left was Blandy Shammin's left overs, and that trainwreck transition year. I would bet UNCs 2011 class was probably higher rated than ours. So you may want to reconsider how "inferior" their talent is to ours.

One porst you're all over Al's **** for winning 9 games in his 3rd season in the rough and tough ACC and in another porst you're blasting Shannon, who won 9 games in his 3rd season in the rough and tough ACC. Should we compare SOS for their 9 win seasons? LOL. Here's a hint: Randy beat more 8 win teams in that one season than AL ever has.
 
Since I'm tired of arguing I'll put it like this:

10 wins next season, or gtfo. They shouldve won 10 this year, same applies next year. No excuses. No cloud. Just win. I think Dan E said the same thing. If he manages that by some crazy miracle I'll likely **** myself.
