Al Golden is getting the Miami plane fly overs on the road

They are terrible. Golden is terrible. He's a defensive coach and they havent had a good D since he's been there. He just lost to a team that lost to Temple (his former team). I'm not sure they can afford to Fire him.
This is Golden's 5th year. How big a buyout could he possibly have? I don't remember him getting a huge extension.
Because Muschamp could f*** up a wet dream. There was no excuse for losing that game!
One of the worst game attending experiences sadgator has ever had...sadgator will always appreciate the fact that Mus gave him that gift.
I saw a comment somewhere that a Cane fan was saying with Strong struggling in Texas it will be a great transition for him to come in and replace Golden this offseason. I guess that person fails to recognize that Strong is dealing with a subpar roster and would likely have the same results in Miami for the same reason. I'd also point out that he is hoping to replace a fired coach with a fired coach.
They gave him a nine year contract in 2011. So they are on the hook until 2020.
Doesnt Golden only make about 1.5 mill a year? I think Cincy's coach makes over 2 million a year now so I wonder if Miami would be willing to pay him or anyone else around 2.5 a year or so with how cheap they have been on that lately.
They don't have the money. The drug cartels quit donating to that program a few years back.
When FSU beats them again next week we will be back in the news for slapping around women.
Miami will continue to struggle regardless of who coaches.
Back in the 90s and early 2000s Miami's selling points were: easy schedule, exposure, championships.
In today's college football, everyone is on TV, everyone has internet, everyone has exposure. Conference affiliation is more important now than before. You need the conferences to generate revenue for you, but you also need to generate revenue for yourself. Miami has a very small number of donors, boosters, etc. that support the football program. On top of that they have no stadium of their own with premium seating of their own to generate revenue. The fan base is ultra fickle meaning that at the first sign of trouble the income dries up.
Miami will continue to have this problem until they have their own stadium AND expand their fan base. Look at the list of big-time donors and boosters at Texas, Bama, Auburn, UF, etc. (thousands to tens of thousands) compared to Miami (dozens to perhaps a couple hundred).

So no one is going to notice the initials on the dumpster?
Oddly, I don't think Golden is that bad. I think he's in a terrible situation (look at everything that's gone on with Miami since he took over and the factors that make it unfavorable).
Then again...maybe it's because I think more coaches should wear ties like real men.

he was just showing how awful he is, as always..
I never noticed those on dumpsters
until passovergator
I don't think Golden is a bad game day coach. He just can't recruit against Jimbo.
Jimbo seems to have a very South Florida-oriented recruiting focus. And FSU has consistently out-recruited Miami since he took over, depleting Miami's source of strength. Miami usually has a couple of decent skill players, but Jimbo knows how to stack the line with endless size and depth, SEC style. Once Miami suffers a couple of key injuries, they tend to fall apart because just don't have the depth. UF seems to draw from different parts of the state, so they are not as affected by Jimbo's recruiting mojo.
Now that no high school-aged recruits even remember a time when Miami was on top, it's going to be difficult to rebuild. UF and FSU have a huge advantage in being big state schools in small towns where everything revolves around the football team. For those reasons, it's almost impossible for either of those two schools to be down forever. It's different for a smaller, private school, in a city with a million other things to do. Unless Miami can pull an upset against FSU, it's going to be tough to change the momentum.
