I'm still waiting on the Al Golden Real ***** Molded ***** to come out so we can all have a slurp!!
 
Glad to see a post like this. I think Golden has some important qualities among them is he is a great face for the program, as hard working a coach as we have had, and an excellent recruiter. I am repulsed at some of the negative rhetoric you get on this board about him. Way over the top. He deserves better. Now my honest opinion. I don't think he's going to make it. I don't know exactly what it takes for a coach to go into a stadium against a team you aren't supposed to beat and motivate your team, have the right game plan, call the right plays at the right time, have the right personell for the right situation, and of course make needed adjustments during the game but he seems to be lacking in some of not most of these things. These are not qualities you would like for your coach to have. A championship coach has to have all of these qualities. We are in fact playing at least four teams that we will not be favored in. You get the picture. Second, As for the staff I never have been convinced that Dorito is the biggest problem. I think Coley is. I wouldn't want to be quizzed on why but I hope he had a good off season from an education standpoint. He's still young so there's hope but the time might not be at Miami.

Any truth to the rumor, that I just started, that Butch will be sitting with Howard, tonight?

Rejoice.

Firing Day is 81 away.

Just watching the latest Raising Canes video and the recent interview with Joe Rose, the way his message resonates across the board. Whether you're a kid from the inner city with one parent, a middle class kid from the suburb with a traditional nuclear family- or anything in-between- his lessons are transcendent- because it's the hard truth, with tried and true values. They ring true across all races, religion and class. The guy gets it. I don't care who you are, you'd feel good sending your son to play football for him for the next four years

I think he's the sharpest guy UM has had since Jimmy Johnson( who was a master psychologist) in a lot of ways.

Remember when Don Soldinger was scolded by 'the worst coach ever' for pointing out how Tyrone Moss was out of shape during the 2004 off-season( which he was)? It was a seminal moment in a lot of ways. To me, this was another example of the lack of leadership this program has had the past decade. I just love the way Golden has brought a level of accountability to this program- from him on down. Everyone will compete 365 days out of the year, bottom line, no excuses. It's an atmosphere that will create competition. You can just feel the country club has been closed down. This is no longer just an NFL internship( which I've spoken out against for years). To me, the early entrants we had to the draft this off-season, are symbolic( hopefully) of that leaving this program for good.

He's made January-August, as important as game week. Like he said,'setting your teams DNA'. The foundation of any championship( in any sport) is set in the off-season. I can't lie, I think Miami went through the motions in that regard for a long time( and these thoughts have been echoed by former players I've talked to who played in the glory days.) I love Golden's phrase- 'Deserve Victory' . Lets be honest, this program hasn't deserved it for a long time.

Miami doesn't need a nice guy( Coker) or a former player( Shannon), what it needed was a real leader. Part CEO, part motivator, part teacher, part father, part hard-***.

I have no doubt this man will win big, here, if given the proper amount of time and resources. UM got lucky Gruden went all Gruden. This guy has the look of what modern day football coach should be. To paraphrase Howard Schnellenberger UM is on a collision course with greatness with Al Golden, the only variable is time( and, uh, the NCAA sanctions, too)

They're not there yet, but I love where this is going....

problem is he can deliver on all this master psyche, good guy, he gets it Bull****! But he can't deliver where it really counts- IN RECRUITING, WINNING RECORD AND MATCHING WITS WITH COACHES WHO ARE ALWAYS BETTER THAN HIM. If you like seeing The U football program spin down the sewer then support Al he get us down there where his whole coaching experience has been.
