Golden is one of those coaches that is so bad his coaching negates any talent advantage. That's what I've seen from him. I don't have anything else that tells me different.
 
Even Randy had enough sense to fire Rix after our offense ranked 89th.... SMH...

Nix said he and Shannon simply had different styles on how to best run an offense.

"I enjoyed it here. I appreciated Randy giving me the opportunity," Nix said. "I'd like to have gone with something more wide-open and more no-huddle. He and I had a philosophical difference on that."

Shannon released a statement announcing the dismissal, without revealing what went specifically into the decision.

"It is my obligation to review all aspects of the program and make decisions as to how we can improve as a football team," Shannon said.

Out of 119 teams in the major college football rankings, the Hurricanes are 89th in total offense this season at 326 yards per game, and 52nd in scoring offense at 27.1 points per outing. Both are improvements over last season, and both came with two freshmen who had never thrown a pass in a college game before this season under center -- Robert Marve and Jacory Harris.
 
One of my issues with Golden is that he's supposed to be this master talent evaluator and talent developer, but none of his "gems" have done anything for us. Aside from the high 4 stars and 5 stars, non of his players have produced yet. The kids he's unearthed at his camps or that weren't nationally recruited have largely had no impact so far.

What's he doing with guys like Hope, Dortch, Blue, Moore, Hoilett, Gadbois, Jake O'Donnell? Not to mention guys who have left the team like Terry, Dillard, Jontavious Carter and EJ before making little to no impact.

A guy like Duke, TH3, Bush, AQM or Coley will show out no matter because they're that talented. But what about players that you have to hang your evaluations on. What's he doing with those guys?
