Randy was a good assistant coach(Dc) and definitely was a better head coach than golden. He actually beat people worth a **** including fsu 2 times, Oklahoma, a top 20 ranked unc and ga tech and others. Overall he was not a good head coach but it's not a stretch to say he was treated unfairly. **** golden loss to Maryland, duke and wasn't fired after that? Randy loss to south Florida who were ranked

There's a huge difference between the FSU that Randy had to coach against (Bowden's last years) and the FSU Golden had to go through (Fisher). In Randy's one time coaching against Fisher, we got blasted 45-17. I was at that game, it was the most disheartening Canes game I was ever at. Golden beat UF and Randy didn't. Know why no one brings this up? Because Randy went against the best UF team they ever fielded, while Golden beat a UF team that would go onto finish 4-8 after losing Driskel (a crap QB) and lose to Georgia Southern at home.
The USF team you mentioned fell back to reality and finished the season 9-3. They were ranked
#2 in the early part of October.
Randy didn't get along with the admin and Golden was the type that would do whatever to keep his job.
Just because Randy may have been a shade better then Golden doesn't exactly make him a good coach. Randy's in-game management was borderline putrid, and it cost us a significant amount of games.
The admin wasn't going to fire Golden after game 1, stop it brock. Just say both coaches suck and call it what it is.
