First, a few things:
-I loved Al Golden from the moment he was hired until a few months ago. I thought he was the perfect man for the job and he would lead us back to the top.
-When it was reported that he was Wisconsin's choice last December and that he might leave us, my heart sank. I was SO relieved when he said he wasn't going anywhere. I thought him leaving would be an absolute disaster.
-I scoffed when some people pointed out that the defense didn't need to be as bad as it was. I thought, like Al said, it was a process. He had me. Hook, line and sinker.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then the VT game happened.
That's when I started to worry. There was no excuse for us performing like that with the Coastal on the line. We played flat, unispired football. I started having doubts.
Then Duke happened.
And that's when I realized. Al is not who I thought he was.
His defense has not, does not and will not work here. His team quits on him. His words are empty. He's a fraud.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it came time for the Russell Athletic Bowl, I tried to put my feelings aside. We were in a Bowl game. Hooray!
And then Louisvile happened.
And yea....it was ugly.
I was livid, I wanted to go down to Miami and punch the fat **** in the face. He is a disgrace.
I thought we were screwed, going to be stuck in mediocrity forever. But...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Texans hired Bill O'Brien. (Great hire, by the way.) And word came out that Penn State wanted Al and he was interested. More than interested, in fact. Supposedly they had agreed to terms. I was excited, but weary until it became official.
Sure enough, something happened and Al's staying.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What we need to accept is Al Golden is our football coach. And he's going to be for the foreseeable future, whether we like it or not.
This makes me angry. And I'm sure it makes many of you angry. But we need to accept it. Name calling and *****ing isn't going to change anything. Short of Al choking on a Whopper, we're stuck with him.
So let's try to make the best out of a bad situation. We have a great class coming in. Let's hope he makes some changes and that, somehow, we get back to the top of college football.
Al Golden is our Coach, and we need to just deal with it.
