Crowder asking Golden about his loyalty to Dorito.

Golden says they were better this year. Says their defense was good enough to win 9 games.

*********
 
Golden, asked about scheme and his loyalty to D'Onofrio, said we don't make any excuses after rattling off a bunch of excuses. But then he said:

"What defensive coordinator wouldn't want to play Cover 1?"

Says they'll be able to be more aggressive in the secondary with the influx of talent in this group, specifically the pass rushers.

"Majority of people who had sacks and interceptions are coming back. Why would we abort right now"

I kid you not, that is what he said.
 
What makes this staff amazing is how well they judge talent no other staff in the country finds more 1* and by signing day their 4* amazing job

WQAM Golden Recap - Will post on the front page too

Chad fell asleep last night when Golden was texting with him and Golden couldn't get a hold of him. Didn't really sleep all night due to it.

Kid's see an opportunity right now - the "cloud" is over

Class was about need - finally able to meet needs on the front 7 on defense

No question it is a top 10 class

Needed to get older inside - mention two JUCO DT's

Pass rushers - Smith, Harris, Jackson, etc

Young is 240
Owens is 235, 6'3''
McCray 228 right now
Biggest LB group he has ever taken

Walked out of a home in December - first time he realized he didn't discuss the NCAA thing with a family. Felt naked.

Big reception among HS coaches and Jr's.

Biggest Jr day turnout quality and quantity wise.

Day was over by 10am today. Lots of guys early.

Thought they had a chance with a few - won't name names.

Signed 26 - only had room for 1-2 more

Will work thru signing day (i.e. look for more Corn Elders) - Will look for OL

Said Miami lost NO players due to the PSU thing. Communicated with all the kids. Was not a factor.

Said the defense has improved. No longer relying on freshman. Need to get better - win more games. Offense was bad on third down and TOP. Both effect the defense. Will be more aggressive this year. Front 7 is improved. Deeper, faster, more athletic. Majority of playmakers are returning.

Kaaya/Rosier - Position depth now established. Competition will be fierce. Had to hang on for our lives with Kaaya down the stretch. Rosier is a great athlete, will also play baseball. Big hands, strong arm.

Country has gotten smaller due to technology. Kids can fly around easier and cheaper now. Miami takes care of the backyard first and then goes out of state.

Celebrity recruits - Want to know what makes the kid tick. Not every 4-5 star goes to the NFL. Have to do your homework - does the kid love football, work ethic, does the team win, etc.

Most ready to play - defensive lineman. Chad, Moten, 3 Nose tackles, Yearby. Try not to have preconceived notions. Want to teach them football and get them in great condition.

Duke Johnson is doing great. ESPN is doing a piece on him. Will come out today or tonight. No cast, no boot, walking around in sneakers. Starting to jog and run.
