Well.... some of them per Twitter. The end is near for Mack Brown. I hope Golden stays forever.
Im honestly not worried about Golden leaving for another college job. Maybe that's wishful thinking, but he seems to really like So Florida and the possibilities at UM
Also, did you hear the emotion today post-game? That didn't sound like a guy going anywhere anytime soon
Let me start by saying I don't think he'll leave, but a programme like Texas is one that could tempt him.
He's all about recruiting - the big draw for Miami is that even if you just secure half the top talent down in South Florida you're putting together a **** of a football team.
Texas, historically, have had their pick of Texas talent. With someone like Al Golden at the helm they'd put up monster recruiting classes.
He's not playing poker when he's standing at his press conferences. In today's press conference, he talked about the experience being "cathartic." The guy feels like he's been put through **** and, whether he convinced himself of it or not, he seems to be rocking the "this was meant to be" approach. We pay him well enough and his family (and extended family) has become comfortable down here.
If Golden leaves, it's for the NFL. And, I don't see it in the very near future.
Golden has a weird obsession with the 80s Canes and JJ. He loves it here. That Miami attitude and hard-working, chip on your shoulder mentality resonates with him. He's also highly intelligent and he's looking at his last two recruiting classes laughing his *** off at what he's bringing in despite all the bull**** the program is dealing with.
Also, his wife told my informant "south Florida is. MY. ****." If he leaves, I think it's Penn State or the NFL.
But that's easy to say when a team like Texas ISN'T offering him some obscene amount of money. That'll make any man think twice.
