Will 8-4 in 2014 bring you on board with Golden?

I predicted 7-5, 4-4 ACC and 3-1 OOC, but just suppose we can pull out 8-4, ( 4-4 ACC/4-0 OOC? )


Does that make "Wait until Kaaya in 2015" any better as an excuse to keep this staff?

Is not having the hyped and highly rated Williams at our helm for 2014 some kind of excuse? (He must be great, he unfortunately was behind Morris?)

I see guaranteed, with NO chance to win, losses to UL, VT and Free Shoes in the ACC, and the odds of us NOT losing at least a game to the likes of GT, Duke, UNC and UVA (let's face it, NO WAY Golden is 4-0 vs GT, UNC, Duke and UVA, never happened, never will) are about zero.

But, at Nebraska could be a win. Bad coach (the Bielema of the B12), descending program (the administration WANTS 8-4/7-5 seasons, as if a Shalala clone is their President). Bad team (granted, nowhere near as bad as what Golden has produced in 3 years) but any team with a slight pulse can beat Nebraska.

Will that be the rallying cry of the Golden faction?

IMO, 8-4, 4-4 ACC is grounds for crucification in any coach's fourth season. But I don't speak for everyone.


Is 8-4, 4-4 ACC or 8-4, 5-3 ACC satisfactory?

8-4 is not satisfactory. Anything less than 10 wins shows we're either moving backward, or not moving forward. It's time to win, or move on.
 
But, Williams is hurt! (in some polls, we were preseason 3rd in the Coastal, and Williams was a top 8 pick in the Coastal for QB in the NFL signing period, before he went down!) And Morris is in the NFL!
 
al Golden says we have been trending up.

we HAVE improved our record every year.

so he better improve on the 9 wins from last year.

It's funny because some are saying this team isn't as good and our schedule is harder, but demand we win the conference, or Golden should be fired.

our team is better. Our schedule is not difficult.

enough with the ******* excuses
 
Nice bait thread, Rone. But, yeah- 8-4 should send this fraudulent **** packing. But unfortunately, 8-4 is probably gonna allow Alfraud to keep his job. (Sad face)
 
What I care most about is not getting our rears handed to us EVERY time we play anyone with a decent team and losing to a couple chumps because their coaches are better. We could lose four, IF those four walk away with a 3 point win, battered and bleeding and NOT wanting to play another minute against us.

After 4 years at the UM if your not in a BCS bowl , you are not a very good coach and you should be fired .

I'm mostly on board with the comments in this thread, but I can tell you that even a 6-6 season doesn't get Golden fired. His seat isn't even remotely warm

this is true in my opinion. though 6-6 or 7-5 will firmly plant him on the hot seat.
